began taking samples from sweets shops across the district ahead of the
festival season of Deepavali.
Tamil Nadu Food Safety and Drug
Administration Department (Food Safety Wing) Designated Officer R. Kathiravan
said that this was part of measures to check the quality of sweets, since this
period witnessed a huge surge in sales. The spurt in demand could lead to
deterioration in quality, he said.The samples will be tested at the Government
Food Analysis Laboratory here. If the tests revealed the quality to be
unsatisfactory, improvement notices would be served on the shops, he said.
Samples will be taken till
Deepavali.
