STATEMENT ON FOOD SAFETY INSPECTION AND CONFISCATION

On April 3, 2025, the Municipal Health Office of Buhi, through Sanitation Inspector conducted a surprise inspection at Buhi Public Market to ensure compliance with Presidential Decree No. 856, also known as the “Sanitation Code of the Philippines”. The inspection was carried out in accordance with Section 33, which mandates the Local Health Authority to make periodic inspections to enforce the maintenance of adequate sanitation in food establishments and their premises.

During the inspection, several food handlers were found in violation of national food safety regulations, including:

• Improper food handling – such as failure to wear appropriate protective garments like aprons and prescribed caps.
• Inadequate food storage – exposing food items to contamination.
• Non-possession of required permits and health clearances, specifically:
• Operating without a Sanitary Permit, in violation of Section 14 of PD 856, which states that “No person or entity shall operate a food establishment for public patronage without securing a permit from the local health office.”
• Employing or working without a Health Certificate, in violation of Section 15, which states that “No person shall be employed in any food establishment without a health certificate issued by the local health authority.”

As a result of these violations, the food items were immediately confiscated and disposed of following sanitation protocols. The person involved had previously been issued notices and recommendations, yet failed to comply. A follow-up inspection is scheduled for April 7, 2025, to ensure that corrective actions have been taken.

The Municipal Health Office strongly reminds all operators/food handlers to:
• Secure the necessary Sanitary Permits and Health Certificates before operating.
• Wear proper working garments and maintain hygiene while handling food.
• Ensure proper food storage and handling to avoid contamination.
• Participate in food safety training programs, if required.

Safeguarding public health is our utmost priority. The Municipal Health Office will continue to enforce national sanitation laws to protect the safety and well-being of our community.

For questions or guidance regarding food safety and compliance, operators/food handlers are encouraged to contact the Municipal Health Office.

Presenting our first IBCA-created infographic for a long while!

The most common cause of seizures in small children is a sudden rise in fever from any cause - it is totally unpredictable (though usually arises early in the illness), and sometimes the seizure itself is the first sign of a fever. Any cause of fever can bring about a febrile seizure.

It is a scary event to witness, but staying calm and knowing what to do is always helpful. To this end, we hope that our infographic series will be of use to all parents and caregivers!
