Welcome to Safe Food Mitra
The joint inspection by legal metrology, food safety, civil supplies and revenue has found out that the rise in the price of three items — tomato, ginger and small onion — forced the shopkeepers in the open market to not display price lists.
“The price of ginger touched Rs 300, small onion at Rs 180 and tomato at Rs 150. As the merchants do not display the price list, the customers do not know the exact price of the items. Customers would get a choice of the items only whenthe price list is on display. In Ernakulam market, we found large number of shops not displaying price lists, warranting action by us. We will continue the raid next week too.
Suppliers say that ginger from other states are not coming to Kerala now due to the flooding situation there. We expect its price to become reason able once the harvesting starts inplaces like Idukki and Wayanad in two months,” said a senior civil supplies official in Ernakulam.
