FDA cracks down on food carts

MARGAO: The directorate of food and drugs administration (FDA) conducted a special surveillance drive in South Goa- Margao, Colva, Utorda, Betalbatim, Benaulim --on Saturday and cracked a whip on several food outlets found operating without proper registration from the licensing authorities.
Sources in the FDA said that 11 sugarcane carts, two kulfi, four ice-cream and four bhel puri stalls were directed to stop their activities until they obtain necessary food licenses from the FDA.

"The public should refrain from procuring sugarcane juices as well as kulfi and other ice-based food articles from such unhygienic food carts, which are fully exposed to flies, etc. as it can lead to health-related hazards," Salim Veljee, FDA director said, adding that such drives will be conducted on a regular basis.
