SOUTH AFRICA: Food safety worries consumers - (South Africa Times)
October 17, 2007 – 8:03 pmNational Consumer Forum chairman Thami Bolani was cited as saying on Wednesday that consumers are concerned about the safety of food bought from street vendors and that most adults bought food from a street vendor on a daily basis.
Bolani was further cited as saying that research by the NCF suggests there are still concerns about food safety, and that municipalities could do more to help vendors offer a hygienic service, adding, “This formed part of the Global Street Food Campaign. The campaign will raise awareness about street food selling and work with local authorities to implement hygiene and food safety standards. It plans to help with the training of street food vendors in good hygiene practices.”
