Massive Jleeb Food Safety Drive Nets 315 Violations, Unsafe Food Destroyed

Kuwait City: A rigorous 48-hour inspection campaign in Jleeb Al-Shuyoukh has resulted in the identification of 315 violations and the destruction of food unfit for consumption. The Public Authority for Food and Nutrition (PAFN), in collaboration with other government agencies, conducted the intensive operation.

The campaign, part of a broader security operation in the area, involved 102 food inspectors who meticulously examined food establishments. Their inspections focused on ensuring strict adherence to health and safety regulations. During the operation, inspectors found many violations of food safety requirements and seized and destroyed food products that did not meet standards, preventing them from reaching consumers.

PAFN stated that this initiative underscores its dedication to protecting public health and guaranteeing that food available in the local market meets approved safety standards. The authority emphasized its commitment to ongoing inspection campaigns across all six governorates. These efforts, in cooperation with relevant government bodies, aim to monitor food establishments, identify non-compliant businesses, and enforce food safety regulations.

The authority reaffirmed its stance on applying the law firmly and without leniency against any entity found violating food safety requirements. PAFN stressed that safeguarding consumers and upholding the highest food safety standards remain paramount priorities.
