Meeting in Notre Dame University on food safety in the hospitality sector

CALVATIS CALGONIT MEA organised in collaboration with the Notre Dame University a meeting yesterday to discuss a book authored by Elias Khattar Kanaan on “hygiene and public health in the hospitality sector” and which focuses on food safety.
In his address, Khattar highlighted the importance of food safety policies and standards which he considered to be now more important than ever as the consequences of failure in this domain are reflected in an increased number of food poisoning accidents.  He also noted that whilst producers are trying to address problems which may cause disease, the role of the media is equally important in raising consumers’ awareness on the importance of food safety standards.  Furthermore, he added that the Ministry of Public Health and other concerned authorities should also introduce a law for controlling food production.
