ISLAMABAD: The Competition Commission of Pakistan (CCP) has passed an order imposing a penalty of Rs1 million on a frozen foods company, Kitchen Stone Foods, for running a deceptive marketing campaign for its food products in violation of Section 10 of the Competition Act, 2010. Kitchen Stone Foods’ competitors, Seasons Foods and Quick Food Industries, complained to the CCP that it was deceiving consumers and harming their business interests by claiming that its products were “100% non-processed,” or “Pakistan’s first non-processed frozen food.”
