TAGUIG CITY, 10 December (PIA) – This Christmas season, the city government of Taguig called on consumers to be wary of double dead meat or ‘bocha.’
This after the city government reminded all meat vendors in the city to obtain meat only from government-accredited slaughterhouses and distributors.
"The demand for meat products these coming days will be greater than usual, like the staple ham for our Noche Buena and New Year feasts. And when there is a demand, there are always people who will take advantage of the situation and will try to earn a few extra pesos at the expense of our health by selling bocha or hot meat," Taguig Mayor Lani Cayetano explained.
Cayetano also called on the public to be vigilant and report any case of contaminated meat products being sold within the city.
“We should not compromise our health in order to save money,” she added.
Likewise, the local chief executive said that the public may report any case of contaminated meat products to the city veterinary office or in their nearest brangay.
Meanwhile, the city veterinary office also gave tips to meat vendors on how to keep meat products fresh and safe if not sold within the day. (TAGUIG/RJB/JEG/PIA-NCR)
