They report poor quality of the garlic paste produced by Ceballos in Santiago de Cuba.

A woman from Santiago reported on social media that the garlic paste sold by the company Ceballos is "something pasty" that has no smell or taste of garlic.

A woman criticized this Friday the terrible quality of the garlic paste that the Agroindustrial Ceballos Company sells in the city of Santiago de Cuba: “It seems that with a small portion they made a tank.”

Adis Otero Barrios expressed her frustration on Facebook, stating that the company sells the product for 120 pesos at the agricultural fairs in the Sueño neighborhood.

"Another deception to the population," expressed the woman from Santiago. "The garlic stayed in Ciego de Ávila and it's not natural; it's a pasty substance that has no smell of garlic and I haven't found the flavor," she criticized.

"Where is the quality control of the Agroindustrial Ceballos Company, that allows these products to not meet the slogan of 'Genuine Natural Freshness' and to be sold without quality?" Otero questioned with evident indignation.

In addition, he launched a direct criticism: "Who do we blame, the blockade?" suggesting that the real culprit for the poor quality of the product is the regime, which is unable to guarantee basic products with minimum standards.

"Check yourselves, because we Cubans are disrespecting each other," he emphasized, and at the same time warned: "Friends, don’t buy it because you will lose your money," he concluded.

Although the complaint was made recently, the issue of the quality of the garlic paste produced by the Ceballos brand is not new in Santiago de Cuba.

In June, Antonio Sarmiento del Castillo alerted in the Facebook group "Compra y venta Revolico. Santiago de Cuba" that that product was a scam.

"Upon opening it, its contents were water with flour and salt, not even something that could resemble the taste of garlic," said the man, who also criticized the high price of the product, which cost 190 pesos.

"I make this post to alert other naive consumers like me, so they don't fall for this deception and scam," pointed out Sarmiento del Castillo, who also stated that he bought the pasta at the agricultural fairs held on Saturdays in the Sueño neighborhood.

After the Cuban regime announced the reduction in the weight and price of the bread sold to the public through the basic basket, social media has been flooded with images of people criticizing the measure.

Several Facebook profiles reported that the bread did not meet the stipulated 60 grams and also showed images of the standardized bread, which barely exceeded the size of an eye drop bottle.

A resident of the province of Sancti Spíritus reported in July the poor quality of a yogurt purchased at a fair, which was intended to be consumed by a minor, leading the Cuban to criticize the regime, questioning: "Do you think that's suitable for a child?"

Michel Alayon explained on Facebook that, during a fair in Sancti Spíritus, he bought a yogurt whose flavor he described as "shit with bread flour."
