By Robert E. Roperos
BUTUAN CITY, Feb. 3 (PIA) -- To prevent possible entry of “double dead” meats, officials and personnel of the National Meat Inspection Service (NMIS) is closely monitoring all entrance and exit points in Caraga Region.
NMIS-Caraga Regional Director Desiderio Julaton directed all NMIS personnel to strengthen their monitoring so that such illegal transporting of “double dead” meats will not happen in the province.

Through the monitoring, Julaton said, health of the consumers will be protected.
NMIS also reminded the public to be cautious in buying meat in the market as incidence of selling “double-dead” meats are already noted in some parts of Luzon.
NMIS Executive Director Atty. Jane Bacayo said it is safer to buy meat products and other processed foods in malls and groceries as they have passed the quality control requirements of NMIS.
However, report said that the NMIS chief reiterated that if buying in public markets cannot be avoided, Bacayo suggested it is necessary to ask dealers first for the NMIS certificates on their meat products.
This move of the NMIS is part of the good governance as promoted by the Aquino Administration that is highlighted in the Philippine Development Plan for 2011-2016. (PIA-Caraga)
