On Wednesday 06 August, opposition MP Khim Lucky sent a letter to the minister of Commerce, asking the latter to take the appropriate measures to control the use of chemical products in foodstuff.
According to Khim Lucky, the anarchic use of chemical product on food sold in the kingdom’s markets affects public health. Food sellers use large amount of borax, formalin (aqueous solution of formaldehyde), sodium hydrosulfite and even pesticides.
“According to research conducted, these products could bring serious health problem to the consumers. If no measures are taken, our citizens will soon face a major sanitary problem,” Khim Lucky warned.
