City Hall warns against buying cut fruits wrapped in plastics

Mar 12, 2010 News

The Mayor and City Council of Georgetown is advising the public that they should be very careful when purchasing cut fruits in plates wrapped with plastic from vendors as these might not be wholesome and fit for human consumption.
The Meat and Food Hygiene section of the Council’s Public Health Department recently carried out an inspection of some of these cut fruits in Styrofoam trays and it was discovered that in some cases the fruits were not prepared under the approved hygienic standard.
“Further, the fruits are not stored or sold under the right temperature,” City Council stated.
The Council is therefore advising citizens to be careful when purchasing these fruits, saying such packaged fruits should be stored and sold at a temperature of four degrees Celsius.
Meanwhile, the Council said it has received reports that notwithstanding an agreement, some coconut vendors are still bottling coconut water for sale.
The Public Health Department said it could not vouch for the sterilization process used by these vendors. The Council is appealing to those vendors to desist from pouring coconut water in bottles and offering it for sale.
