“In February we had to order the closure of a total of six establishments, one wholesale, two supermarkets, two restaurants, and one pastry shop because we continue to have issues with food safety in some establishments,” said Scott.
He noted that three of the six establishments ordered closed were in Brown’s Town, one in Discovery Bay, one in Alexandria, and the other in Ocho Rios.
“The violations were of unsanitary operations, intrusion of pest and some unsanitary lack of cleaning,” Scott divulged as he urged operators of food establishments to adhere to the stipulations of the Public Health Act and avoid the risk of being ordered closed.
