A construction of an slaughterhouse in Dagupan City is already certain following a courtesy call by officials of the National Meat Inspection Service-Regional Technical Operation Center 1 (NMIS-RTOC 1) on Mayor Belen Fernandez last week.

In that visit, Mayor Fernandez expressed her intention to build a slaughterhouse for Dagupan to improve the livelihood of meat vendors who are getting stiff competition from dealers of frozen imported meat and to stop “hot” meat from reaching the Dagupan markets.

Fernandez said the slaughterhouse project was endorsed by the City Development Council and this was welcomed  by meat vendors and butchers in the city.

Officials of NMIS RTOC 1 and Dagupan  City said they will study model slaughterhouses  in other towns in crafting a system for a proposed slaughterhouse of Dagupan.

With a modern  slaughterhouse,  households  in Dagupan will be assured that the meats they buy from their markets are fresh, safe and sanitary.

After their call on the Dagupan mayor,  NMIS-RTOC 1 officials conducted   monitoring, surveillance and seizure of hot meat  from the public markets and supermarkets  to ensure that the meat that consumers are buying this holiday season are safe, clean and of superior quality.
