Through inspection, in general, businesses comply with the provisions of the law on food safety and hygiene. However, there is still a situation where traders litter after selling their goods even though there is a place to collect the waste. The goods for sale are quite messy, such as fast food stalls near raw meat stalls, traders display goods in the wrong places, food is not well preserved, etc.
