Bakers Inn has been taken to court over meat pies not fit for human consumption.Emmanuel Katsvamutima, a sales marketing manager at the fast food outlet in Masvingo appeared in court on behalf of the company yesterday..
Bakers Inn denied contravening sections of the Health and Public Health Act respectively when the trial opened before a local magistrate Mr Langton Ndokera, who postponed the matter to July 23.
The court heard that health inspector Patrick Timothy investigated the shop at Exor Complex and found 20 boxes containing 600 ready to bake pie. He discovered that all of them had no date for minimum durability as required by the Health Act.
He then seized the pies and sent them to the Government Laboratory for analysis, where it was confirmed the pies contained some micro-organisms not fit for human consumption.
Prosecuting, Mr Fidelis Nyamukondiwa told the court that on July 13, the local authority received a tip-off from members of the public that the food outlet was selling unwholesome meat pies.
