BEIRUT: Lebanese people are eating diseased food, Health Minister Wael Abu Faour warned Tuesday, revealing the names of establishments that do not meet food safety standards.
“The Lebanese citizen’s food is not only dipped with sweat, but also in diseases and microbes,” Abu Faour said during a news conference at his ministry. “The Lebanese does not know what he eats, and it will be a disaster if he knows.”
The minister revealed that numerous supermarkets, butchers and restaurants had been violating food safety standards, according to the results of the inspection campaign done by the ministry over the last 20 days.
The minister named all of the establishments that had failed the inspections.
The inspections have not yet reached Beirut, but Abu Faour said the results for the capital would come out Thursday, promising to take the necessary legal measures against the companies and the ministry’s employees who had not been doing their duty.
