To ensure that insects, rodents and other pests and animals have no access to food materials,<br />

for gaps and possible entry points for insects and pests, weekly. If latter are found, engineering<br />

is informed to close the gaps and a Pest Control Officer, to apply treatment. <strong>The</strong>se are carried<br />

out as soon as possible, with urgency. Pest control treatments are applied for so long as<br />

infestation is observed. Treatments carried out inside the plant such as placing insect and rodent<br />

repellants and/or baits at strategic areas, should not contaminate food products, equipment and<br />

facilities contained.<br />
