Tamil Nadu Governor's call to BIS

Chennai, Jun 20 : With the mushrooming of food stalls and small food businesses, the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) should be more vigilant to ensure food safety norms were adhered to strictly, Tamil Nadu Governor K Rosaiah said today.
Inaugurating a National Seminar on 'Food Safety : Role of Standards,' organised by the BIS here, he commended the role of BIS in ensuring food hygiene, good manufacturing practices, safety managements and systems. "Today we see mushrooming of food stalls and small food businesses.
The BIS should ensure the food safety norms are adhered to. Ensuring hygiene practices, fresh and quality food and good manufacturing practices are imperative,' he added. Stressing on the need for creating awareness among consumers on food safety, Dr Rosaiah said the consumer should be made vigilant not only about the nutrients in food but also safety and hygiene.
