To the Food and Drugs Authority (FDA),
We are writing to respectfully call for your immediate attention to the way fish is being handled and sold in Tema Newtown. There are growing concerns about hygiene and food safety practices during the handling, storage, and sale of fish, which may pose health risks to consumers.
We kindly urge the FDA to conduct inspections and ensure that all fish vendors comply with the required food safety and sanitation standards. Proper handling, storage, and transportation of fish are essential to protecting public health and maintaining consumer confidence.
Your prompt intervention will help safeguard the health of the community and promote better food safety practices in the area.
Thank you for your attention to this important matter.
