Summary:
Meerut: The Food Safety and Drugs Authority (FSDA) has pasted phone numbers of food safety officers on makeshift food stalls so that quality food is served and the space around is free of litter. Previously, the city residents complained that they did not have any contact number of FSDA officers when they wanted to complain about any adulterated item. Therefore, notices with the numbers of food safety officials have been pasted on such food stalls.Archana Dheeran, designated officer, FSDA, Meerut, said, “In the backdrop of the instructions given by the state authorities, notices with contact numbers of food safety officers of that area have been pasted on the makeshift stalls and carts. Now, customers who find any adulterated food items being sold or any sanitation issues can directly contact the food officer concerned.The FSDA authorities said unlike other eateries and food stores, it becomes difficult to keep a tab on makeshift stalls. But now, with such notices being pasted, things will become more transparent,” said Dheeran..
