Production Activities of Public Catering Facility at Barekamutyun Metro Station Suspended

Inspectors from the Food Safety Inspection Body of Armenia's rapid response division conducted an inspection at a public catering facility owned by individual entrepreneur Marina Hovhannisyan, located at the Barekamutyun metro underground passage in Yerevan, based on a citizen's complaint.

During the inspection, it was revealed that the facility operated with gross violations of sanitary and hygienic norms. Specifically, the following issues were noted:

• The walls of the food structure were not made of waterproof, non-absorbent, washable materials.
• There was an insufficient number of conveniently located washbasins equipped for handwashing with hot and cold water, along with necessary handwashing and disinfecting agents, and hygienic drying devices.
• There was no changing room for the staff.

The production activities of the public catering facility have been suspended, with a deadline set for addressing the identified violations.
