The foodstuffs consumed on a daily basis by the people must be healthy and safe without any hazards to the life and body organs.
Since its establishment, the market-oriented economic system being exercised by the country has been seeing the competitive production of various personal goods and any other foodstuffs. Some of them are recommended by the Department of Food and Drug Administration but some of them are being produced without any norms and standards.
Some businesspersons focus on self-interest by manufacturing the products preserved with the use of inappropriate chemicals and dyes. In this regard, the use of overdose for preservation materials would harm the consumers. Hence, the producers need to use the correct and accurate ratio of chemicals and dyes as well as techniques to prevent side effects.
As such, the authorities need to always supervise and examine the foodstuffs whether these are healthy and safety whereas businesspersons should produce safe foodstuffs for the emergence of healthy future generations.
Some businesspersons use quality materials for manufacturing products meeting international standards. Such products can keep abreast of other products in the international market. In fact, whatever they manufacture the products such as meat, fish and fruits, all foodstuffs must be genuine, healthy and safe ones.
Unavoidably, the raw materials will comprise residues of chemical fertilizers and pesticides due to overdose of usage in the cultivation of crops. Consequently, these residues will impact the damage of farmlands and the death of animals around the farmlands. Moreover, these residues will cause danger to the consumers.
The Ministry of Health is always examining the foodstuff being sold in the domestic market whether these are quality and safe for consumers or not. Moreover, action is taken against those who do not abide by the restrictions not to use the prohibited chemical dyes under the law as part of protecting the interests of the consumer people. So also, the ministry accepts the complaints of consumers who face various problems in the domestic market on a daily basis.
In fact, as Myanmar is an agro-based country, all the businesspersons producing the foodstuffs need to manufacture the guaranteed foodstuffs for the consumers. Only when their products are safe and healthy, will they have the chance to grasp the market shares for their products in competition with other similar products.
As such, the authorities need to always supervise and examine the foodstuffs whether these are healthy and safety whereas businesspersons should produce safe foodstuffs for the emergence of healthy future generations.
