Hygienic rules violations drop 60pc in Ajman
AJMAN - The number of violations of hygienic rules in Ajman decreased by over 60 per cent as compared to the previous months, according to the monthly report of Ajman Municipality.
According to the report, Ajman Municipality issued last month 69 health certifcates, 285 health cards and warned around 285 owners of commercial outlets and 20 residential buildings for violating the hygiene regulations.
The report also added that the Health Section of the municipality confiscated 1,150kg of vegetable and fruit, 52,430 kg of fish, 33 cartons of biscuits, 16 bottles of rose water, 89 cartons of tomato paste, two cartons of cheese, 39 chips packets, 140 kg of rice, 13 spices packets, 1,500 kg of vanilla, 800 kg of dried fruits, nine pickle containers, around 700 kg of meat and 1,180 kg of liver.
The report points out that more than 2,640 slaughtered heads of camels, goats and cows were inspected by the inspectors of the health section. The inspectors also got rid of 24 stray dogs around the slaughter houses in Ajman.
The report determined that pest control officers of the Health Section visited more than 26 areas that are affected by the mosquitoes, bugs and and other pests and sprayed pesticides in such areas.
It also determined the most appropriate control measures such as laying down of poison baits to get rid of rodents in stores and outlets.
Speaking to Khaleej Times, Dr Mohammed Attia, Deputy Director of the Health Section, said that the unfit food products were confiscated as part of its inspection campaign targeting food outlets and manufacturers.
The Central Control Laboratory of the municipality found that these food contain ingredients that pose serious threat to consumers' health, and many of these food products such as pickles and tomato paste and chips contain artificial red colour (E 124) which was widely banned because of its negative health impact for causing heart failure.
Dr Attia commented that as a result of the municipality's strict supervision of the market and regular follow-up visits by inspectors to errant outlets, the number of violations dropped by 60 per cent in August compared to previous months.
He attributed these achievements to the experienced and qualified inspectors of the municipality and to their hard work in controlling the market and ensuring the strict implementation of the hygienic rules, he said.
"The inspectors also foiled many cheating and forgery attempts made by many traders and manufacturers to avoid the regulations of the municipality for hygiene," he said.
