The Escola Americana do Rio de Janeiro (The American School of Rio de Janeiro), one of the priciest and most prestigious private high schools in Rio de Janeiro, Brasil (tuition is approximately $2,300 per month), was fined by the Procon (Programa de Proteção e Defesa do Consumidor or Program for the protection and defense of consumers) about $2,400 for selling expired food (ham, cheese, and snacks) to its students.
