The Bengal health department has decided to conduct the inspection and the sampling of tea sold in the state after flash surveillance conducted by the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) in four metros found major non-compliance with safety standards by major brands. The commissioner of food safety has directed all chief medical officers of health (CMOHs) to complete the “inspection/awareness” drive by April 30 and submit a consolidated report to the food safety branch of the state’s health and family welfare department by May 15. The commissioner’s office has also provided a list of 544 tea manufacturers, relabellers and re-packers to the CMOHs. “You are hereby requested to direct FSO (food safety officers) under your jurisdiction to conduct inspection/sampling at the FBO (food business operator) premises ……samples shall be collected and sent to the laboratory to the possible extent. The concerned laboratory shall analyse the samples and submit report as soon as possible,” the letter addressed to the CMOHs reads.
