The state’s consumer protection agency has cited a Hamden supermarket for allegedly failing to clearly mark prices on some of its merchandise.
The state Department of Consumer Protection said the Shaw’s Supermarket at 2100 Dixwell Ave. violated pricing laws during inspections in December and March.
During the December site visit, an agency food inspector chose 50 consumer commodity items with a UPC code and inspected them for appropriate price labeling.
Twenty lacked an electronic shelf labeling tag, or an individual price label, as required by law, Commissioner Jerry Farrell Jr. said.
Shaw’s was notified of the violations and ordered to fix them. But on a followup visit March 3, inspectors found 25 items incorrectly priced, the agency said.
If the violations aren’t corrected, Shaw’s must appear at an April 9 hearing, the agency said.
