In a nationwide inspection campaign of one million factories, hotels, restaurants, supermarkets, cafeterias, schools and hospitals, the Health Ministry has disposed of 886 tons of food and 56,000 liters of beverages unfit for human consumption since the beginning of the year.
The ministry has called on food facilities to comply with all health and hygiene requirements so as to avoid legal action against them. It also called on consumers to check the expiry dates of the products they buy, separate raw food from cooked food and keep food in safe temperatures.
