The Egyptian Ministry of Health and Population has reported the disposal of 6,141 kilograms of assorted food items and 630 litres of beverages of uncertain provenance. These products were destroyed due to alterations in their natural characteristics, rendering them unfit for human consumption.

These actions were part of a series of inspections conducted by the Central Administration of Food Control within the Health Affairs Directorates across all governorates. The campaigns, which ran from 24 April to 3 May, focused particularly on food vendors, including those selling salted fish, in alignment with the observance of the traditional Spring Festival, known as Easter.
