Rugbyliefhebbers het op Maandag 11 September reeds van 09:00 in rye by Computickettakke gaan staan om ’n kaartjie of twee te koop vir die rugbytoets tussen die All Blacks en die Springbokke op Saterdag 7 Oktober op Nuweland. Slegs 22 000 kaartjies was te koop en dit was ’n geval van wie eerste in die ry staan, kry ’n kaartjie, indien jy nie aanlyn gekoop het nie. Van die rugbylief hebbers wat in Parowsentrum in die ry gestaan het, het van Gordonsbaai, Goodwood, Parow, Clarkelandgoed en Kuilsrivier gery om hul toetskaartjies hier te kom koop.

EXPIRY DATES ON FOOD ITEMS: CONSUMERS URGED TO CHECK LABELLING
‘Buy at own risk’ NTHABISENG MADUMO @msmadumo

t is always important to check the expiry dates of any food items one purchases, says Mayco member for safety and security, and social services, JP Smith. Smith and the City’s Environmental Health Practitioners (EHP) Unit on Wednesday participated in a food safety inspection in Parow. “The inspection was to look at both perishable and non-perishable food items sold at food premises,” Smith says. He says it is very important for consumers to be careful when buying non-perishable foods that have already expired. “Buyers should know that they are buying the food

items at their own risk. “Sell-by dates are more complicated and cannot be legally enforced. “This is governed by national legislation (R146 labelling regulations). The expiry date on food is an advisory and the public need to decide whether to buy expired food or not.” He says the national government is working on new labelling regulations and the City has recommended that food with expired dates not be allowed to be sold. The City has also started updating the environmental health bylaw, Smith says. Food vendors should have a certificate of acceptability (issued by the EHP Unit), which is monitored monthly. The EHP Unit does food sampling of prod-
ucts at food premises, and the samples are then tested in their laboratory in Parow. The lab tests at least 120 food samples weekly. This EHP Unit covers part of old Tygerberg and is one of 16 such EHP units across the City that do daily inspections of food premises. “The inspections focus on high-risk foodstuff, which has to be done four times per year, including food safety and pest control. The lower risks are warehouses storing nonperishables and they are inspected once a year,” Smith adds. “Medium-risk venues include general dealers selling food and high-risk venues are your restaurants and fast food outlets, and these are inspected quarterly.” V To page 2.
