Summary:
Meerut: Ahead of Holi, the Food Safety and Drugs Authority (FSDA) collected 79 samples of suspected food items and issued notices to at least eight cold storages for running without license. These cold storages supply food items to the city, so we are trying to break the chain of adulteration by targeting these storages. The food items on which special attention is being paid include oil, ghee, besan, chips, papad, khoya, sweets and others. Special care will be taken for addition of colour to food items and adulteration of ghee, besan, oil, chips, papad, khoya, sweets and others,” said Dheeran. The areas identified include khiwai, sardhana, naglakhumba, jainpur, mawana and others.“We also checked the cold storages and notices have been issued to eight of them to get license to operate or else action will be taken..
