The Food and Drugs Authority FDA is planning to enforce harsher penalties on food businesses that do not follow safety regulations.
The authority has reported many instances where food businesses have failed to meet required standards.
These breaches involve not handling food and food products properly, as required by the Public Health Act.
A spokesperson for the FDA made these remarks on the sidelines of a workshop.
The workshop was focused on educating businesses about food safety practices.
The FDA's actions aim to ensure that food sold to the public is safe for consumption.
Stricter enforcement is intended to improve overall food hygiene and handling standards nationwide.
Food service establishments are urged to comply with all regulations to avoid severe consequences.
