Ammon News - AMMONNEWS - Amman governor Saad Shehab Saturday ordered the arrest of a number of people after authorities seized and destroyed about 80 tons of chicken which was found to be unfit for human consumption.

The food shipment was stored in a warehouse, and some of the amount was bought from local poultry companies or private slaughterhouses five months ago and were sold to charities in Karak, Maan and Amman for distribution, according to a statement.

It said the food consignment was seized by the Jordan Food and Drug Administration, and that those involved were arrested, noting the efforts of official and security agencies and the follow-up by the competent authorities to stop spoiled food from reaching the public and ensure food safety in the country.

The people who were arrested will stand trial and all those involved throughout the various stages of the case, including suppliers, will be identified.
