According to a new report from the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection (DATCP), confidence remains high that consumers get what they pay for at Wisconsin businesses.
Throughout the year, DATCP inspectors tested product scales, registers, gas pumps, and fuel quality at stores around the state to ensure accuracy at every transaction point. Lara Sutherlin, Administrator for DATCP’s Division of Trade and Consumer Protection said in a news release that “In 2020 businesses had to adapt and change quickly. Despite the many challenges they faced during the pandemic, they continued to maintain their scales, registers, and pumps to ensure accuracy and a fair transaction for consumers.” DATCP’s weights and measures team conducted 252,782 inspections at 5,946 business locations statewide in 2020.
