Craig Thomas, national specialist with the Inter-American Institute for Cooperation on Agriculture (IICA), has warned that eggs sold at roadside stalls without proper cooling during the current hot weather could pose a health risk to consumers, urging vendors and authorities to take food safety precautions.
IICA is an international organisation that works with countries across the Americas, including the Caribbean, to strengthen agriculture, improve food security and promote sustainable farming practices. Its work includes helping the agricultural sector respond to climate-related challenges.
