As the country grapples with the scourge of foodborne illnesses and poisoning, Kwa Zulu-Natal police uncovered two warehouses used to store expired food in the south of Durban this week.

The expired items were discovered during an operation in the Bluff area on Wednesday.

Police spokesperson Colonel Robert Netshiunda said food items such as canned fish, fizzy drinks, soya beans, baby food and spices, which are mostly used on chips, were found stored with hazardous chemicals such as pesticides.
