5 Things you wish you knew about CORA

1. Cora may be putting your families health at risk. The lack of food safety standards at cora is a very serious issue that can make you and your children sick. Contamination such as e-coli, li
   steria, staph and salmonella can occur in substandard food safety conditions. In some cases people can die from these illnesses. The recent seizure of 12 tonnes of meat from Romanian hypermarkets including Cora illustrates this lack of standards,

2. Cora attack and harass their consumers. Catherine Radulescu who owns Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/Problemele-de-Siguranta-Alimentara-in-CORA-1377803632532946/ set up the page in an attempt to improve the food safety of Cora’s stores. Unfortunately she found that Cora executives instead of fixing their food safety problems, they filed a criminal complaint against her, clearly intended to bully and try to intimidate her from speaking the truth. Nice guys !
3. Cora may be yet another company bribing public officials. Catherine Radulescu sent a number of complaints about Cora’s lack of food safety to ANPC ( Romania’s National Authority for Consumer Protection). Strangely, each time she received the same response, which states this was the first complaint Cora had received on the subject. Knowing she personally had sent a number of complaints on the same issue, Catherine could tell that the response she received from ANPC was either lazy work by their officials by copy and pasting the letter, or perhaps did Cora employees bribe ANPC officials to issue such a letter?
4. They are ripping you off by selling you underweight products. Yes, it’s true, we have weighed various Cora products at various Cora stores in Romania and found that the real weight of a product is sometimes lower than the actual displayed weight (which we, the consumers, have to pay for).
5. Cora could be the next Apa Nova. The former French CEO of Apa Nova Mr. Bruno Roche was formally charged with bribery and influence peddling in Romania. He was the first foreign CEO to receive such a charge.http://www.realitatea.net/trioul-din-dosarul-apa-nova-la-dna-acuza-ii-noi-pentru-bruno-roche-moisescu-i-semenescu_1819681.html. In this case the DNA went for the companies executives. We can’t help but wonder if the same thing could happen to the owners of Cora such as Pierre Bouriez if they are proven to have brbed ANPC officials.
