REPORT: Minister Abou Faour: Food safety campaign aims at instigating reforms
 Health Minister Wael Abou Faour stated on Monday that the food safety campaign is not a retaliatory campaign, stressing that it aims at instigating reforms.

During a joint press conference with Tourism Minister Michel Pharaon, Minister Abou Faour stated that inspectors from the ministry checked (Monday) various shops in Sabra where food safety standards are non existent.

On another note, Abou Faour noted that a decision was taken to suspend a trainee doctor and a nurse who work at the Rafik Hariri University Hospital in the region of Jnah, Bir Hassan on the backdrop of videotaping a surgery and sharing it.

For his part, Minister Pharaon who said that Lebanese should be proud of the restaurant sector, called for maintaining the required levels of food safety in order to provide the best products for tourists.

Health Minister Wael Abou Faour has been launching a campaign against corruption detected in restaurants and supermarkets in regards to food safety standards, and has made public several lists of violating restaurants and supermarkets underscoring the types of unfit foods being sold.

Following the food corruption scandal, the Health Ministry has touched on a new file, ordering the closure of many beauty centers that operate without official supervision.

Abou Faour’s campaign has also tackled the file of water quality.

The minister, who has received the support of many political forces, vowed to push ahead with his campaign, and stressed the need to protect the Lebanese citizens against any type of contamination.
