Ramsaran Dairy Products Pulled From Massy Shelves Following Racist Posts By Affiliate

By Newsroom

Less than 48 hours after outrage sparked online over racist comments made by a family member associated with Ramsaran Dairy Products, one major supermarket dealer has pulled the product.

Massy Stores confirmed on Wednesday afternoon that it had taken an immediate decision to remove all of the brand’s products from its shelves, after customers voiced their outrage. 

“Massy Stores Trinidad operates as a responsible retailer and we make every effort to align ourselves with partners who hold similar values. We have listened to our customers and have taken a decision to remove Ramsaran’s products from our shelves at this time and temporarily suspend ordering of this product,” the company said. 

The woman, who has since apologized following threats of a boycott, expressed her upset over the People’s National Movement’s win in Monday’s General Election, posted “I hope (Dr) Rowley starts putting contraceptives in their water supply yes because these cockroaches keep populating and the only thing they know to do is vote.”

Below is the apology she posted on Wednesday morning:
