An afternoon raid yesterday of the Stabroek Bazaar by the city’s Food Safety Department (FSD) did not produce the expected numbers of illegally traded items. This is according to City Public Relations Officer (PRO) Debra Lewis.
At about 2pm yesterday Chief Meat and Food Inspector Deonarine Arjune along with several City Constables descended on the Stabroek Bazaar in an attempt to confiscate expired goods being sold for human consumption.
Last week, Stabroek News had reported that vendors in the area were selling copious amounts of expired products. A visit to the area by this newspaper had shown vendors selling products which had expired since May. This newspaper had also learned that the FSD does not regularly visit the area.
