WILLEMSTAD - The Multi-Disciplinary Team continues in action. Yesterday, measures were taken against an establishment that was operating against regulations and disregarding hygiene rules.

After receiving multiple complaints through the App Platform 562-1444, the Multi-Disciplinary Team decided to respond. According to the information received, customers were experiencing bread with insects. And so, on Tuesday, August 22, 2023, the Multi-Disciplinary Team consisting of SOAW, GMN/THZ, SBAB, and MEO carried out a thorough inspection and control at Panaderia Paraguana located at Siberie Winkelcentrum 5B (Tera Kora).
Several violations were observed:
Violation of pricing regulations (indicating incorrect prices).
Weight was not deducted from the package weight for the product, resulting in higher costs for pre-packaged items.
Eight employees without valid health certificates.
Toilet located within the premises where bread is prepared had issues with hygiene.
Insects were found in flour, dough, and bread.
Baking sheets were not clean; lack of proper ventilation resulted in sweaty employees handling bread.

The Team decided to halt all operations at the bakery due to violations of Economic and Hygiene laws. All production of dough and bread was destroyed at the landfill, at the expense of the bakery in question (approximately 350 kg of product). The establishment will remain closed until compliance is met.
