Insect inffected dates
According to lable it is best Iranian Zahidi dates with packiaging date and expirey dates with telephone number of Importer or packaging company. Anyway Iam using these dates since long times not this company but packed by different companies and from saudi arabia.
Since long time i was thinking to write about the problem these dates have is more than 50 percent are with insects.These insects eat from inside and makes powdery shit inside.Anyway i tried to photograph it but not very clear.If you look broken dates it is white from inside and some part is brown.Brown part is eaten and isect shit is there.I will talk to this company post you about their point of view.Also if any side effects of eating insect shit.

Dates with sand
This is packet of dates i bought three of them from coop in kuwait.
could you believe it or not I found sand mixed in it ?
I tried to approach the owner of braka dates and made apointment to visit him. They are based in shweikh industrial in dates market.
I asked him do you have any complaint about your dates because i found sand in your dates. he said no. he has never ever has any complaint. I told him that i found sand in your dates .He said i could exchange it. it was his kindness to change the packets and gave me another . But when i came home i tried to eat it i found out it was same as before.
If you want to sell dates please don't mix harmful stuff in food. There are ways to sell just sand separately . People out there selling sand even Kuwait imports sand as well


These are two boxes are fake tea i think? no colour no taste
although both says one of the best Black Tea and Orange Pekoe With bad Taste I usually bring my pg tips tea bags from the UK. If i run out of it i usually use brooks bonds red label or yellow label from lipton. This time i bought few tea boxes which are not tea at all i think. Although it says on the box one of the best pure ceylon tea.Believe me it is horrible here are pictures of two packings.Now how to load pictures? I totally forgot? Oh i manage to download pictures of tea boxes. now how to bring it down?

Fish with full of oil slick being sold by sultan centre Kuwait

Surprising to know that there is Regional organisation for protection of marine life.

I have spoken to Dr.Thunda Raja? last week and he has told me they will look into this matter.

Today i have approached them and talked to Dr. peter in this organisation and he asked me to send the link of pictures. well done Dr. peter.



If I was in your place I could have gone to sultan centre and bought some fishes for further observations. Is this protection you are offering to marine life in Kuwait? Dear Dr. peter please note my point that marine life in Kuwaiti shores are on decline . If you have any chance to visit any beaches you could find less shells than previous years

It is not only marine life Iam talking about what about people who eat fish? For your information lots of people are suffering from cancer related diseases. this contaminated fish with full of oil slick is one of the cause of cancer in local population

Dr. peter found here fish photographs atlast and took his valuable time to reply me by email.
Interesting to know that according to him his organisations remote sensors have detected no any considerable leak or spill.
Now another mystery to me from where this oil slick came inside fish.
other thing he suggested to report this matter to health department or other government offices to report this incident.
Dr. peter it is very easy to suggest to report to government offices but in practice it is beyond practice. Do you know why?
first of all i have no civil id (Iam visitor) which is first requirement for complaint.
secondly If you go to Kuwaiti government offices you have to waste lot of time waiting to let officials finish their telephone conversation, reading magzine chating and drinking tea or even out busy in shopping etc.

DR. peter you know these government offices or bodies that you suggested me to report now my question is are you willing to take time to report?
Now is there any Kuwaiti government official have read this or seen these pictures? if so please report it to concerned department for further action to safe guard local marine life, birds and local population.

Today I visited sultan centre mangaf and found out they had no fish in question.
Another thing I found out in one of their freezers all ice cream was liquidy. Are they going to throw it away? no I dont think so because in kuwait there is no any concept of keeping frozen things frozen.If there is any concept it might be be just in the governments concerned offices.
People who deals in frozen food should be traind and given knowledge about frozen food and why it should be kept under certain temperature.
Due to harsh weather in kuwait especialy in summer frozen food left out of freezer at delivery point to enter the shop freezers, thats why most ice lolies are in irregular shapes etc. When next time you buy any frozen food make sure that food is frozen just once in the factory and not defrozen and frozen till it arrives in your freezer.
