Recently, I came across the country’s largest egg producer, (I think) delivering eggs at a major shopping complex in Martintar, Nadi.
I was horrified to notice many big blow flies hovering at the back of the delivery truck.
This was very unsightly; most unhygienic.
Was this the same egg producer who was pulled up recently for occupational health issues? Or am I wrong?
Familiarity, almost always breeds contempt.
This truck was definitely not temperature controlled.
In the heat and humidity, thousands of glad-wrapped trays of eggs will go off very quickly. Strangely, this producer/supplier does not pay any attention.
At home, on several instances, we have come across bad eggs.
Are we supposed to return bad eggs to our supermarkets? Answers, please!
This is a consumer council issue that must be pursued.
Eggs must be transported in temperature-controlled trucks.
Compliance is an absolute necessity, in my view.
