Food safety standards are critical to ensure that the food we consume is safe and free from any harmful contaminants or adulteration. Recently, the Food Safety Administration (FSA) team conducted an inspection of various food outlets in the state capital to check for any violations of these standards.
Importance of Food Safety Standards
Food safety standards are crucial to ensure that the food being consumed is safe and hygienic. The FSA team’s recent inspection of food outlets and processing units in the state capital highlights the district administration’s emphasis on maintaining these standards.
Adulteration of food can lead to various health problems and can even be life-threatening. It is the responsibility of food processing units and outlets to ensure that the food they prepare and sell is in compliance with food safety standards.
FSA Inspection Findings
During the FSA team’s inspection, they found that fries were being made in an unhygienic condition at the Sona Foods unit, which is a clear violation of food safety standards. As a result, the unit was immediately sealed.
The FSA team also collected food samples for testing adulteration and ensuring that food safety standards are being followed. The inspection serves as a warning to all food processing units and outlets to adhere to food safety standards, or they may face strict action.
The Food Safety Administration recently launched a campaign to check adulteration in various food outlets and processing units across the state capital, after directives from the district collector Asheesh Singh. During their inspections, the FSA team collected food samples and sealed an outlet in the Govindpura Industrial area for unhygienic conditions.
Further, during the inspection, the team found that the fries being made at the Sona Foods unit were in an unhygienic condition, as they were dumped on the ground and passage for drying. The district administration took swift action and sealed the unit, sending out a clear message about the importance of maintaining proper hygiene standards in the food processing industry.
In addition to this, the FSA team also visited several outlets in Ratan Colony, a general shop in the Karond area, a dairy in Pallavi Nagar, and a café in Bawadia Kalan. Such campaigns are essential to ensure that food safety regulations are being followed and that consumers are getting safe and hygienic food.
