‘Don’t sell food which you dislike taking’

Staff Correspondent: Food Minister Advocate Qamrul Islam urged traders not sell food which they do not like taking themselves.

He said, “Make your conscience aware. Do not sell the food to the consumers which you do not like for you and your family.”

The Minister came up with the call while speaking at a seminar at Dhaka Reporters Unity (DRU) in the capital on Wednesday.

Qamrul said, “Firstly, we will make you aware in this regard. Then, we will take punitive measures if it fails.”

“Many of the iftar sellers use apron and hand gloves as they know people do not like unhealthy foods. So, unhealthy foods currently decrease. The more demand will decrease, traders will make healthy foods. So, you should be aware more in the future,” the Minister added.
