The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) said that it will henceforth shutdown vendors that sell stale food to customers at the airport, noting that such foods are poisonous to the body.
The agency also said it has commenced the process of creating awareness on food handling across airports in the country.
FAAN said this became necessary following an increase in food poisoning incidents, not just at airports within the country, but globally, adding that food handling within airports had become a source of concern.
The Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of FAAN, Capt. Rabiu Yadudu, said recently that airport food safety had become a topic of importance in contemporary aviation business.
According to him, the changing needs of food safety delivery would be easier to achieve if some of the issues of concern were addressed by stakeholders.
