rafidainscope - Local markets are experiencing an escalating wave of public anxiety and lack of trust following several instances recorded by regulatory and security authorities of severe commercial fraud, involving the sale of meat unfit for human consumption or non-compliant with health and legal standards.
These incidents, which were followed by deterrent judicial sentences against the violators, have led to significant shifts in families' daily consumption patterns. Markets noted a decline in demand for red meat from untrusted sources, with consumers turning to safer food
alternatives, coinciding with a wave of price hikes hitting the meat sales sector.
Citizens and activists demanded tighter regulatory measures and the activation of inspection committees' roles to eliminate nepotism that allows some manipulators to escape punishment. They emphasized that food safety is a matter of national security that cannot be compromised, and
restoring trust requires absolute transparency and strict enforcement of the law against all violators without exception.
