Salmonella sausages in supermarkets

A startling revelation in a newspaper was that food inspectors of the Colombo Municipal Council found sausages contaminated with Salmonella being sold in a reputed supermarket. The manufacturers of these sausages are said to be avoiding presenting themselves in the courts when a case has been filed against them. Perhaps they are waiting till all the contaminated sausages are sold to unsuspecting customers!

It is very disconcerting when bigwigs in the food industry thumb their noses at law enforcement authorities and carry on business as if they are all above the law. These being days when magnates of big business and industry talk glibly about corporate social responsibility, it is indeed regrettable when some in their midst behave in a criminally negligent manner.

It is also unfortunate that the name of the manufacturer was not mentioned in the news item as that would have made the public wary of buying his products.

I sincerely hope that the relevant ministries e.g. the Ministry of Trade and Commerce, and Consumer Affairs and/or the Ministry of Health will take prompt action, perhaps through the AG's department to bring the errant businessman to book.

Sir Ivor Jennings

Reference article on Sir Ivor Jennincs (May 2), I graduated from University of Peradeniya in 1984. I knew all about Sir Ivor Jennings from my father when I received the admission letter. It is sad that I was never able to find any piece of material within the campus premises that reminds/or make people aware of the founder.

I take my hat off for the wonderful layout of the university. The planners/designers have well thought of every aspect of a university life.

I have been to other universities (Hong Kong and Melbourne), but Peradeniya is my best in terms of the design. I hope Andrew Scott's article will wake up responsible personnel at the university.
