Following a complaint by FACUA-Consumers in Action, the Ministry for Consumer Affairs of the Balearic Islands has opened disciplinary proceedings against Aldi, Dia and Lidl for marketing King cakes that are fraudulently presented as cream-filled, when in fact they contain other substances.

The Balearic Administration confirmed the facts denounced by FACUA on Tuesday 4 January by sending inspectors to the establishments of these three chains, who confirmed the use of signs advertising roscones with cream, despite the fact that their labelling indicates otherwise.

In addition to the disciplinary proceedings, the Ministry for Consumer Affairs has also urged supermarkets to remove misleading advertising posters from their establishment.
