The Su­per­mar­ket As­so­ci­a­tion of Trinidad and To­ba­go (SATT) warns of false videos spread­ing across so­cial me­dia and ad­vis­es the pub­lic to be cau­tious of such videos. De­tails fol­low in this press re­lease from SATT:

The Su­per­mar­ket As­so­ci­a­tion of Trinidad and To­ba­go (SATT) is aware of defam­a­to­ry videos cir­cu­lat­ing on so­cial me­dia pur­port­ing to show un­sat­is­fac­to­ry con­di­tions at lead­ing su­per­mar­ket lo­ca­tions na­tion­wide.

The most re­cent ex­am­ple of this was a video ref­er­enc­ing Massy Stores which proved to be both false and mis­lead­ing. In fact the video does not rep­re­sent any su­per­mar­ket lo­ca­tion in Trinidad and To­ba­go. Massy Stores along with oth­er su­per­mar­kets in Trinidad and To­ba­go op­er­ate re­spon­si­bly to up­hold the stip­u­lat­ed pub­lic health and food safe­ty stan­dards.

We urge cit­i­zens to al­ways seek ver­i­fi­ca­tion of such con­tent. All su­per­mar­kets use their of­fi­cial plat­forms such as so­cial me­dia, web­sites or of­fi­cial email ad­dress­es to com­mu­ni­cate ac­cu­rate in­for­ma­tion to the pub­lic.
