Lagos nabs 15 for reselling used disposables plastics, plates to food vendors

Lagos State officials have apprehended 15 people suspected of illegally collecting and reselling used disposable plastic items and plates. These items were reportedly being offered back to food vendors for reuse.

The operation aims to curb unsanitary practices and protect public health by preventing the reintroduction of potentially contaminated materials into the food supply chain.

This action is significant as it addresses a public health concern by preventing the circulation of unhygienic food service materials.
