Inspectors checking foodstuff at the labour accommodation in Al Saad.

 

 

DOHA: The Health Monitoring Section at Doha Municipality has found a supermarket using a neighbouring labour accommodation in Al Saad as a store.
Health inspectors of the municipality raided the accommodation following a complaint about the violation. They found a large number of different type of foodstuff stored in unhealthy condition in the labour accommodation located near the supermarket. The inspectors recorded the violation of Law No. 8/1990 regulating monitoring of food for human consumption.
According to a statement issued by the section, the labour accommodation being used as a store lacks minimum requirement of hygiene and suitable ventilation, making it a conducive environment for rodents and insects.
An  official post on the website of the Ministry of Municipality and Environment said inspectors also detected expired foodstuff among the stocks.
