Hanan Atrakin, MP for the Authenticity and Modernity Party, points out the quality of the bread made in informal bakeries. In a question addressed to the Minister of Agriculture, Maritime Fisheries, Rural Development and Water and Forests, Mohamed Sadiki, she affirms that “in recent years, informal bakeries have emerged in various regions and cities of our country, offering consumers what we call homemade bread, but which does not respect the quality standards required for these establishments, whether traditional or modern.

“These bakeries use gas and the flame of a blowtorch to bake bread at temperatures between 80 and 120 degrees Celsius, while the correct and healthy baking of bread must be done in traditional ovens, where temperatures vary between 200 and 300 degrees,” denounced the PAM elected official. In this case, “the bread offered by informal bakeries remains damp, which will have serious consequences for the health of consumers in the medium and long term,” Outrkine added.

The PAM elected official is concerned that “this type of bakery represents a real danger for modern and traditional bakeries due to unfair competition, having already led to the closure and bankruptcy of several bakeries”. She then asked Minister Sadiki to take all necessary measures to monitor the conditions of preparation and baking of bread in these bakeries.
