Rat faeces found on kids’ fruit and veg

RAT droppings were found on Tuesday in fruit and vegetable meant to be eaten by children at a Paphos primary school and kindergarten.

Reports said the produce, apples, cucumbers and raisins, were to be consumed by the children of the Kouklia school.

However, the school headmistress noticed that rodents got to the food and refused to take delivery. She informed the ministry, which banned the company’s products until the matter was investigated.

The Cyprus Mail is the only English-language daily newspaper published in Cyprus. It was established in 1945 and today, with its popular and widely-read website, the Cyprus Mail is among the most trusted news sites in Cyprus. The newspaper is not affiliated with any political parties and has always striven to maintain its independence. Over the past 70-plus years, the Cyprus Mail, with a small dedicated team, has covered momentous events in Cyprus’ modern history, chronicling the last gasps of British colonial rule, Cyprus’ truncated independence, the coup and Turkish invasion, and the decades of negotiations to stitch the divided island back together, plus a myriad of scandals, murders, and human interests stories that capture the island and its -people. Observers describe it as politically conservative.
