Restaurant hygiene

First, some news about restaurants.

Many restaurants have deficiencies in hygiene.

Yle examined the information from the Finnish Food Authority’s health inspections.

Every third restaurant received a poor rating.

The restaurants have kept food too warm and the premises have been dirty. Inspectors also found pests in the restaurants.

There are more bad grades than before.

Professor of Food Hygiene Johanna Björkroth is concerned about the results.

“Yes, it was a sad read in that there has been more to fix than in previous years.”

Many restaurants have deficiencies in hygiene.

The reason for the quality problems is the poor finances of the restaurants.

In addition, not all entrepreneurs and employees have sufficient knowledge or language skills.

Authorities have temporarily closed some restaurants.

Now news about scrapping old cars.

Here, a recycling company is looking for an old car to scrap.

Finns have applied for quite a few new scrapping bonuses.

The state can pay over 2,000 euros for scrapping an old car.

You get the money if you buy a new low-emission car instead.

Many people will buy an electric car then.

The goal is to reduce traffic emissions.

Finns have only recently applied for scrapping bonuses.

20 million euros have been allocated for support, but only less than 3 million euros have been spent.

Junk dealer Toni Keinänen says that people have been scrapping old cars more than last year.

For example, the person who scrapped this car just wanted the car out of the yard.

Finally, cultural news.

An exhibition by Hugo Simberg has opened at the Turku Art Museum.

Hugo Simberg is one of the most popular artists among Finns.

This painting is “Wounded Angel”.

It was voted the Finns’ favorite painting.

Simberg often depicted death and fairy tales.

Curator Selina Kiiskinen says that death was a natural part of life for Simberg.

An extensive exhibition of Hugo Simberg’s art has opened at the Turku Art Museum.

Simberg’s works are of interest to many Finns.

Still a weather forecast.

The sun is shining in the north.

It is cloudy in the south.

There may be showers in the west.

The temperature is below 10 degrees Celsius almost throughout the country.
