Lebanese Authorities In Bekaa Seize Unsafe Garlic Bound For Restaurants
Authorities in Bekaa recently uncovered over 20 tons of garlic stored in unsafe, unhygienic conditions. The garlic, already rotten, was being peeled and soaked in makeshift tents set up for Syrian refugees. Shockingly, this contaminated garlic was on its way to restaurants in Bekaa and Mount Lebanon, putting countless people’s health at risk.
Immediate Action
The public prosecutor acted fast, shutting down the unlicensed warehouse and launching investigations against those responsible. Authorities made it clear that storing and selling food in such dangerous conditions won’t be tolerated, sending a strong message to anyone trying to cut corners.
Ongoing Inspections
The Bekaa Health Authority has been stepping up inspections of warehouses, food factories, and restaurants across the region. Working hand in hand with security and judicial teams, they are making sure businesses comply with safety standards and prevent harmful food from reaching the public.
Food Safety Priority
Officials emphasized that food safety is non-negotiable. These inspections are set to continue, and authorities are determined to keep people safe while holding those who break the rules accountable. The crackdown serves as a reminder that everyone’s health comes first.
