The Kuwait Municipality has destroyed 27 tons of food with expired freshness dates, as part of its relentless campaign to stamp out inundating the markets with spoiled food
, said Minister of Public Works and State Minister for Municipal Affairs Fadhel Safar, in remarks to KUNA on Wednesday.
He vowed that the municipal authorities will turn to the courts any would-be violators from the business community who flaunt the law and allow the dissemination of expired food through their business outlets. The municipality will provide the courts with all required documentation and evidences that will expose these businesses and have them pay a heavy price for their dasterly deeds, said the minister.
Already the municipality, in conjunction with the ministry of trade, is in the process of cancelling business permits and licences of a number of violating companies that will have to face enormous charges in courts, not the least among them would be their conscienceless zeal at marketing potentially poisonous food to the public with no regard for public health, said Safar. - Kuna
