As Chinese New Year is approaching, it is now peak season for consumers to purchase festive foods like candies and biscuits, consumers are reminded to check the trademark and product label on the foods, as well as to keep their shopping receipts.

Retailers are also called on to pay special attention when purchasing products from wholesalers to make sure the products are imported legally, and to check the quality to safeguard the rights and health of consumers.
