A SPOKESMAN FOR THE COUNCIL SAID THIS YEAR'S CAMPAIGN WILL FOCUS ON +FOOD POISONING AND ITS PREVENTION+.
THROUGHOUT THE CAMPAIGN, SENIOR OFFICERS FROM THE DISTRICT OFFICES OF THE URBAN SERVICES DEPARTMENT WILL CONDUCT A SERIES OF SEMINARS FOR MANAGERIAL AND SUPERVISORY STAFF OF FOOD PREMISES, USING SPECIALLY-TAILORED SLIDES, FILM SHOWS AND DISCUSSIONS.
+ IT IS HOPED THAT THROUGH THE VARIOUS ACTIVITIES OF THE CAMPAIGN WE CAN FURTHER ALERT FOOD BUSINESS OPERATORS TO THE IMPORTANCE OF FOOD HYGIENE, AND ALSO SUGGEST TO THEM SOME PRACTICAL METHODS TO RAISE THE HYGIENIC STANDARD OF THE IR PREMISES, THE SPOKESMAN SAID.
+ IT IS ALSO OUR AIM TO REDUCE THE OCCURRENCE OF FOOD-BORNE DISEASES SUCH AS CHOLERA, TYPHOID FEVER DYSENTERY, VIRAL HEPATITIS AND FOOD POISONING WHICH ARE EASILY TRANSMITTED THROUGH CONSUMPTION OF UNCLEAN FOOD,+ HE ADDED.
THIS YEAR'S CAMPAIGN WILL ALSO COVER THE NEW TERRITORIES, WITH THE HEALTH EDUCATION UNIT OF THE MUNICIPAL SERVICES BRANCH BEING RESPONSIBLE FOR ITS LAUNCHING.
