Bahrain: Food trucks inspected for safety standards
An awareness campaign was conducted at the locations of food trucks in Juffair as well as AlSaya in Busaiteen.
“The campaign was carried out on February 26 in coordination with eight different Governmental entities”, he said, adding that the overall number of food trucks has exceeded 130.
Inspectors have checked 61 food trucks – 19 in Juffair and 41 in Al-Saya- to ensure that they are compliant with the required health and safety standards. The remaining trucks will be inspected during the upcoming campaigns.
Owners of eight food trucks were found in breach of the regulations, employing expatriates instead of Bahrainis, while three others turned out to be unlicensed.
