Dakar : Une opération d’envergure contre la vente d’eau exposée au soleil
In Dakar, the regional hygiene brigade launched a large-scale operation called "FOFFY" (water in Serer) on Friday, April 10, 2026, to combat the sale of water bottles displayed in full sun on public roads.
At the initiative of the brigade commander, Captain Idrissa Ndiaye, this operation comes amid a resurgence of this practice, considered dangerous to public health. Many vendors are selling 1- to 1.5-liter bottles of water left in the sun, without respecting the recommended storage conditions.
According to the hygiene department, this prolonged exposure to heat can lead to the migration of plastic particles into the water, but also promote the proliferation of bacteria, thus exposing consumers to real health risks.
Faced with this situation, the agents began systematically seizing non-compliant products. At the same time, an awareness campaign was launched to inform vendors and the public about the dangers associated with this practice.
Authorities are therefore calling on citizens to be vigilant, inviting them to favour the purchase of water kept out of the sun and under conditions that respect hygiene standards.
Through Operation "FOFFY", the regional hygiene brigade of Dakar intends to put an end to this phenomenon and strengthen the protection of the health of the people of Dakar.
