BAGUIO CITY — A surprise inspection of 'talipapa' or satellite markets in Barangay San Vicente, Kias, Loakan and Camp 7 in the Summer Capital yielded close to a hundred kilograms of alleged stale meat and fish being sold to consumers.

The Safe Meat Task Force composed of personnel from the City Veterinary and Agriculture Office (CVAO), City Health Services Office, City Mayor's Office (Permits and Licensing and Public Order and Safety Division), and City Treasury Office Market Division with the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources, and National Meat Inspection Service also confiscated a sack of plastic bags from stalls in all the markets for violating the city's ordinance for plastic- and styrofoam-free Baguio.
