Plee Pier seafood
merchants were recently given further training on food-safety practices
and standards.
Chonburi officials trained Plee Pier seafood
merchants on food-safety practices and standards to prevent disease at
the increasingly popular market.
Mayor Decho Khongchayawat led the June 13 delegation of public health
workers to the pier to inspect food stalls and instruct on property food
storage, handling and preparation. Merchants who passed the course were
given certificates and identification cards to display and inspire
confidence in patrons.
Decho said Plee Pier’s seafood vendors have become increasingly popular
as people buy more pre-cooked food, instead of cooking at home. To
prevent food poisoning and disease, vendors need to be trained on
sanitation and food-safety methods. (CPRD)
