CMC raiding food outlets
The Colombo Municipal Council has sent out its public health inspectors to arrest traders who unscrupulously sell outdated food stuff along with fresh foods during the festive season.

The CMC action comes in the wake of detection made at a leading Colombo supermarket where outdated food items had been stacked together with fresh ones.

CMC officials said the health inspectors had been ordered to conduct surprise raids, including night raids, on supermarkets and food outlets to ensure that customers were not harmed.
