MBPJ shuts down three dirty illegal chicken slaughterhouses

ENVIRONMENTAL health inspectors from the Petaling Jaya City Council’s (MBPJ) Health Department shut down three unlicensed chicken slaughterhouses at Ara Damansara PJU 1, as they were found to be operating in unhygienic conditions that could cause contamination of meat.

Environmental health officer Marini Mohammad said all three slaughterhouses were unlicensed and their processing methods could contaminate the meat as the slaughtered carcasses, covered in blood, were placed on bloodied floors and even just outside the toilets.
