“Over 2,500 samples were collected from various eateries and food manufacturing units across the city. We have received reports of over 1,134 samples, out of which 14 per cent i.e. 158 were found unsafe and substandard,” senior food safety officer Manish Swami said.
Food safety officials have been carrying out a drive against adulteration to ensure the sale of pure edibles in the market.
“We are continuously running a drive to crack down on food adulteration mainly in spices and milk products. These categories of food products remain under surveillance as this directly impacts consumers’ health and the maximum number of food products found substandard or unsafe falls in the same category,” Swami added.
The district administration and the food safety department had registered as many as seven FIRs against different food manufacturers who were adulterating food and putting people’s lives at stake.
