The Castelldefels City Council has ordered the temporary closure of five establishments after detecting deficiencies in food preservation during the recent heatwaves.
The Castelldefels City Council has launched a special food inspection initiative in response to the high temperatures recorded in recent weeks. The initiative, coordinated with the Local Police, has reviewed several shops in the municipality to verify that they comply with the preservation conditions required by regulations.
During the inspections, inspectors detected irregularities in five establishments, mainly related to maintaining the appropriate temperature for perishable products. As a precautionary measure, a temporary cessation of their activity has been decreed until they rectify the issues and demonstrate that they ensure the safety of the food they sell.
The council emphasizes that these actions are part of preventive tasks that intensify during the hottest months, when the risk of food deterioration increases. The Public Health department reminds that proper refrigeration is key to preventing food poisoning and protecting consumer health.
The affected establishments have not been publicly identified, but municipal sources confirm that they are small food shops and that they have already been notified of the measures. The owners must present a correction plan and undergo a new inspection before they can reopen.
The Castelldefels City Council assures that it will maintain vigilance throughout the summer and does not rule out conducting further inspections at other sales points, both fixed and mobile. The recommendation to residents is to pay attention to the condition of perishable products they purchase and, if they have any suspicions, report them to health authorities.
This is not the first time the municipality has reinforced controls during the summer season. In previous years, similar campaigns have already detected deficiencies and prevented potential risks to public health. The initiative is also part of the Sustainable Development Goals, specifically SDG 3, which promotes health and well-being.
Residents of Castelldefels can consult the list of authorized establishments and food preservation recommendations on the municipal website. For any incidents, the designated contact is the Local Police phone number or the Citizen Attention Office.
