HYGIENE CAMPAIGN FOR FOOD OPERATORS

***

THE URBAN COUNCIL IS TO LAUNCH ITS ANNUAL FOOD HYGIENE CAMPAIGN FROM JULY 9 TO JULY 31.

IT IS A YEARLY SUMMER HEALTH EDUCATION PROGRAMME AIMED AT REMINDING FOOD OPERATORS AND FOOD HANDLERS OF THE IMPORTANCE OF SANITATION IN FOOD PREMISES.

A SPOKESMAN FOR THE COUNCIL SAID THE THEME FOR THIS YEAR'S CAMPAIGN WILL BE PEST CONTROL IN FOOD PREMISES.

THROUGHOUT THE CAMPAIGN PERIOD, SENIOR OFFICERS FROM THE DISTRICT OFFICES OF THE CITY SERVICES DEPARTMENT WILL CONDUCT 16 SEMINARS FOR MANAGERIAL AND SUPERVISORY PERSONNEL OF FOOD PREMISES THROUGH SLIDES, FILM SHOWS AND OPEN DISCUSSIONS.

+IT IS ALSO OUR AIM TO REDUCE THE OCCURRENCE OF FOOD-BORNE DISEASES AND OTHER GASTRO-INTESTINAL DISEASES, WHICH ARE ASSOCIATED WITH UNCLEAN AND UNWHOLESOME FOOD AND WATER.+

AS AN INCENTIVE, CERTIFICATES OF ATTENDANCE WILL BE ISSUED TO ALL PARTICIPANTS AFTER THE CONCLUSION OF THE CAMPAIGN.
