The Agency for Consumer Protection initiated State inspections of businesses to check for the latter’s compliance with product storage regulation. The Agency inform that food poisonings usually occur in the summer, especially during hot weather, when the products spoil easily, and the expiration date has no meaning unless the product is stored properly, reports Info-Prim Neo.
Subject to the inspection of product storage and placement are fast-food joints, bistros, pizza places, restaurants, and terraces. Additionally, booths, and mobile refrigerators for beverages and ice cream, will be inspected.
