The Saudi Ministry of Hajj and Umrah, in cooperation with the Saudi Food and Drug Authority, has urged pilgrims to follow a number of important guidelines to protect their health while performing the Hajj rituals in the 1446 AH season, in order to prevent the risks of food poisoning.
The guidelines stressed the need to:
Wash vegetables and fruits thoroughly before eating them.
Keep hands clean before and after meals.
On the other hand, they stressed avoiding:
Eating food that has been stored for long periods.
Eating any food that shows a change in color or smell.
This awareness effort is part of the work of the Hajj Awareness Center to ensure the safety of pilgrims and create a healthy and safe environment during the performance of the rituals. The Ministry of Hajj said that for more details, the official website of the Ministry of Hajj and Umrah can be visited at www.haj.gov.sa.
