Fanpage impersonating the Food Safety Department is recruiting

The Food Safety Department recommends that people be vigilant, do not share or interact with content from fake fanpages; report violations to the hotline number: 0243.232.1556. The agency is also coordinating with authorities to handle violations according to the law.
