Due to the hot weather, the sale of perishable products has been temporarily prohibited at agricultural and seasonal fairs in Kyiv since July 3. This decision was taken to ensure food safety and prevent outbreaks of intestinal diseases.

According to the press service of the Kyiv City State Administration (KMDA), the ban applies to all food and agricultural fairs that will take place in Kyiv from July 3 to 7. The ban includes the sale of fresh meat, meat products, sausage products, live and frozen fish, seafood, milk, dairy products, poultry eggs, confectionery with cream and other perishable products.

"Due to the increase in average daily air temperature, the sale of perishable food products has been temporarily suspended at the fairs from today," the KMDA notes. This measure is designed to minimize risks to the health of Kyiv residents that may arise due to the consumption of low-quality products.

Personal responsibility for compliance with this ban is placed on the heads of district state administrations of the city of Kyiv and heads of communal enterprises that organize fairs. This decision aims to ensure compliance with food safety requirements and accountability for possible violations.

Let us remind you that in conditions of high temperatures, perishable products can cause serious food poisoning. Therefore, the use of such products should be limited or completely excluded during hot weather. The press service of the KMDA urges Kyiv residents to be attentive to their health and choose products that have a long shelf life and are not subject to rapid deterioration.

The ban on the sale of perishable products is a temporary measure that will be lifted after the temperature regime stabilizes. In the meantime, fairs will continue to operate, offering other products that meet safety requirements in hot weather.
