Let's not forget that Carrefour had one of its stores' fresh foods department closed for that very same reason a few months ago - bad food on sale! I think it was Villagio - correct me if I am wrong but it could have been City Centre - so this news is not surprising if it is true yet again.
The fresh food quality at either Carrefour City Centre or Villagio is seldom up to my (Australian) standards so I usually buy mine at Megamart even though it is more expensive - but at least it is better quality. But they too have their problems with selling older food occasionally. And their handling of meat and chicken at times is questionable - leaving it out stacked around the cold storage counters while they were either fixing or cleaning? Really disturbing especially with chicken!
I guess we are stuck with these problems if we want to eat - and as with many things here - no other choice! :(
Just hope that you don't get food poisoning and check the use-by dates on absolutely everything!
Until Qatar recognises the normal world-wide standards for all food handling, storage and sale - things will remain the same here IMHO.
What short memories people have. The C4 in Villagio veg section shutting last year due to violation and the meat section at CC closing for weeks (about 2 years ago) again due to health and hygiene violations. How quickly we forget.
If my memory serves me right, this incident happened a couple of months back. Carrefour's entire vegetable and meat section was suspended for a month. Geeez this shouldn't be the case again. Closing the entire supermarket for a month? That's a lot of money to loose.
This is coming as a surprise since Carrefour is a reputable hypermart, how could this have happened?! The management of this store should pay more attention to the staff responsible in keeping up with the laws covering food supply. Nevertheless, it's hard to tarnish the name of a well-known chain for this mistake. It can be corrected. Hope it doesn't happen again and serves as a lesson to other consumer outlets.

Carrefour is very reputed all over Europe and now also in Middle East. This is very hard to believe.
