On the other hand, the ministry’s decision sanctioned the resumption in trading of meat products of Al Ailaat and Wehbeh for Meats in Kfarshima and Tiro Shweifat areas, as well as the natural cream products by Al Jawhari sweet shop in Ferzol, Zahleh. Concurrently, a patrol from the General Directorate of the State Security Department raided a food manufacturing warehouse and factory in the Beqaa for a number of violations and noncompliance with hygiene, environmental and health conditions.
