A team of the health department conducted raids in canteens of schools and
colleges and collected five samples of eatables. The team found that hygiene
was not being maintained in most of the canteens. The raids were conducted on
the directions of Civil Surgeon Dr Subhash Batta.
District
health officer Dr Abnash Kumar said: “We collected five samples of eatables
from canteens and shops."
The
team of food safety officers Manoj Khosla and Harpreet Kaur collected three
samples from three canteens — a sample of juice from the canteen of Ramgarhia
College, samosa from Ramgarhia School and samosa from Devki Devi Jain School. A
sample of burfi was collected from a sweets shop at Azad Nagar and a sample of
burger from an eating joint at Westend Mall.
“We
found that most of the canteens were serving eatables in unhygienic conditions.
We have instructed employees of these canteens to follow dress code, keep their
nails trimmed, get their medical tests done and not to use artificial colours
in eatables. The canteen owners were also asked to apply for food licence,”
said Khosla.
