Increased scrutiny after dead rodents found in food imports


There is to be increased surveillance by the Government's Food Storage and Prevention of Infestation Division (FSPID) of  goods coming into the island.

Commerce Minister Anthony Hylton says instructions have been issued to the department, which falls under his Ministry, to be extremely vigilant.

In recent weeks the agency seized two large shipments of  contaminated food items.

Mr. Hylton says every effort will be made to prevent tainted foodstuff from entering the local distributive trade.

News came last week that 22 metric tonnes of red kidney beans imported by a local distributor was found to be contaminated with rodent droppings.

Prior to that seizure, the FSPID confiscated fifteen hundred tonnes of paddy rice imported from the United States at a cost of 15 million dollars.

     That shipment was found to contain the carcasses of  dead frogs and rodents.

Do you know that they are importing fish fillet into Jamaica? Poor people are buying it because it is cheaper than fresh fish? Importing fish from China or Vietnam I think. Dese fish are "farmed " and god knows what they are fed with (I always imagine the worst).

Re: Increased scrutiny after dead rodents found in foo

I try not to nyam nutten imported from China and Vietnam- i personally feel they are getting back at us for the war and other stuff. Have you looked at the back of packages at Shoprite and noticed that it may say packed in California but originally from Vietnam. and/or China. Shrimps dem big and plummed up you see but tenk God fe me Seventh Day Adventist granny me no eat shrimp and dem things anymore. After all they are scavengers so dem do very well on the nastiness whey dem feed them with.

On another note every damn thing made in china is no good, from clothes pin to needle and thread; hair clips, clothes pins. Not one a dem mek good.

no...(unless they recently changed the law due to follow fashionism)...

i used to plant everything....

now the kids (and even some adults) think that food comes from the supermarket or the chinese shop...
i always thought kentucky &amp; mcdonalds was the eventual downfall of jamaica
