FOOD STALLS FINED FOR SANITARY NORMS VIOLATIONS
YEREVAN, JUNE 21, ARMENPRESS: In a follow-up to its previous warnings on
Yerevan residents to refrain from buying foods and soft drinks from street
food stalls, the hygienic-epidemic inspection of Armenian health ministry
moved today to penalize owners of more than a dozen food stalls in a
downtown pedestrian subway for violation of sanitary requirements.
The stalls are located at a busy crossing near the Medical University,
and their main customers are hundreds of students, consuming hot-dogs and
kebab. The Inspection has sent relevant documents to Economic Court asking
it to levy fines, each 40,000 drams (around $90). It said such kiosks are
allowed to sell only packaged food, but none has running cold and hot water,
neither waste water systems.
Earlier this month Yerevan Mayor's Office and sanitary inspection
officials called on Yerevan residents to abstain from buying food and drinks
in the streets, saying they contain toxic germs hazardous to public health
