Continuing
its drive against adulteration of milk in view of the forthcoming festival
season, the Jammu Municipal Corporation (JMC) today inspected about 2,000
litres of milk.
A
team of food safety officers under the supervision of Dr Vinod Sharma, health
officer, Jammu Municipal Corporation (JMC), inspected prominent sweet and milk
shops in Sanjay Nagar, Digiana, Nanak Nagar, Talab Tillo, Canal Road, Mast
Garh, Pacca Danga, Kachi Chowni and Kucha Sabzi Mandi area.
The
Municipal Corporation has asked all food establishment owners to ensure proper
food supply to the general public and maintain standard of hygienic conditions
on their premises, failing which strict action would be taken against them
under law.
The
general public is requested to cooperate with the Jammu Municipal Corporation
and share information regarding poor quality of food products, if any. On
October 5, a team of the JMC was attacked by milk suppliers who were in
possession of the adulterated milk.
A
finding by the Food Safety and Standard Authority of India (FSSAI) has found
that 83 per cent of milk sold in districts of the state is not safe for
consumption.
