CITY OF SAN FERNANDO, Pampanga, Oct 10 (PIA) -- A
three-day food expo will highlight the observance of the 20th Meat Safety
Consciousness Week in Central Luzon.
"Forty exhibitors, who are members of the Pampanga
Meat Processors as well as small and medium-scale food producers, will sell
their products at discounted price during the fair," said Clarita Sangcal,
regional technical director of the National Meat
Inspection Service.
Sangcal also said, "A motorcade will likewise be
held within the City of San Fernando in Pampanga to create awareness of the
need to consume only safe meat."
Slaughterhouse operators will attend a seminar on
"The Animal Welfare Act" on October 16 where they will be taught
proper slaughter, distribution, sale, and storage of meat.
October 15-19 has been declared annually as Meat Safety
Consciousness Week which is enclosed in the celebration of Consumer Month every
October.
This year’s theme is “Karneng Ligtas at Sapat, Kabalikat
ang Lahat" which it aims to gather the livestock industry together and
emphasize the role of everyone to ensure the safety of meat for consumption.
