The sale of re-packaged and unlabelled food items

It matters not one iota how many media releases laced with warnings of dire consequences for transgressions are issued by the Government Analyst Food and Drugs Department (GA/FDD) regarding the unlawful packaging and repackaging of items of food for sale, for as long as we continue to not get the little things right, we will be compelled to deal with the consequences of our indifference.

Last week the Food and Drugs Department issued its umpteenth such admonition and the release itemized close to a dozen reasons why indiscriminate packaging and repackaging should end. The simple truth is that much of it constitutes a health hazard.
