Recently two restaurants in Labasa were closed by Ministry of Health (MOH) due to their non-compliance with food safety regulations. It’s great to see that MOH is coming down hard on restaurants not following proper guidelines.
This proactive stance by the MOH is praiseworthy.
Could the MOH extend its scrutiny to roadside BBQ stalls as well?
Upon observation, it appears that some of these stalls may not be upholding adequate hygiene and food preparation standards.
Out of curiosity, I’m interested in knowing how vendors who prepare food at home for sale in markets or on the streets are monitored.
Does the Ministry of Health conduct home visits to ensure food preparation standards are being followed?
