KUWAIT CITY, July 17: The Public Authority for Food and Nutrition (PAFN), in cooperation with several government agencies, carried out an intensive 48-hour inspection campaign in Jleeb Al-Shuyoukh that resulted in 315 violations being recorded and the destruction of food deemed unfit for human consumption.

The campaign formed part of an expanded security operation in the area and involved the participation of 102 food inspectors, who conducted extensive inspections of food establishments to ensure compliance with health and safety regulations.
