Certificates obtained from the National Public Health Laboratory Food Safety and Nutrition Reference Laboratory results indicate that some outlets have been selling meat laced with a preservative that should not be detected in meat.
Following revelations that some meat sellers were harming buyers in their use of preservatives, the Health ministry analysed 40 samples of meat from random establishments.
The minced meat samples, for instance, were found to have sodium metabisulfite whose levels were 31 times higher than what is accepted by law.
