MIRI: Miri City Council (MCC) held a programme on food safety and hygiene on Wednesday in conjunction with World Food Safety Day 2022.
The programme was declared open by Mayor Adam Yii at the City Hall building in Marina park city.
This event initiated by the council’s Public Health Section was held with the cooperation of the Miri Health Office to spread awareness on food safety and hygiene among stall operators and food handlers here.
