Frozen food behind gastro, stomach diseases

Published Updated

Talking to APP here on Thursday, Consultant of Institute of Public Health, Dr. Zulfiqar Baig, said due to persistent loadshedding and fluctuation of power supply, food items in refrigerators failed to maintain their quality, therefore, citizens should use fresh food instead of frozen items.

He also advised people to refrain from eating loose food in bazaars and low quality drinks which caused spread of gastro among citizens, particularly in children.

He urged patients of such diseases to use ORS in boiled or branded mineral water.
