The recent outbreak of Listeriosis in the country which also affected the Nelson Mandela Bay area highlighted the serious need for vigilance in monitoring food premises, including the safe preparation, storage and handling of food products that are meant for public consumption.
Through its pro-active approach, Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality Environmental Health led by Mayoral Committee Member for Public Health, Councillor Lance Grootboom has identified a number of hot spot areas that pose a risk of a possibility of Listeriosis and other food related outbreaks. From today, June 27, 2018 the municipality will start an operation to clamp down on such hot spot areas.
The operation is planned to cover the whole Nelson Mandela Bay area. the ultimate goal is to ensure that operators who prepare and serve food within the Nelson Mandela Bay is to that as per Environmental Health rules and regulations. The idea is to stop food related burden of disease in the NMBM.
