Don't forget food safety ahead of celebrations

"Products must be stored in a cool place, especially meat, dairy and fish products, salads with dressing and cakes with cream. Raw products should never be stored next to ready-to-eat products," Vineta Grīnberga, Head of the Food Distribution Supervision Division at the PVD, told Latvian Radio.

It is also important to remember that all vegetables and fruits must be washed before consumption.

"It is important to remember that in any case, whether it is a market or online shopping, always keep the receipt or accompanying document, which may be useful in cases where, for example, you buy something that is damaged," continued Grīnberga.

The PVD asks that you report any suspicious products and where you purchased them.
