Fazilka, July 26
Five firms of Fazilka district have been penalised by Additional Deputy Commissioner (ADC)-cum-Food Safety Officer Charandev Singh Maan for violating Food Safety and Standard Act, 2006.
Food inspector Kanwaljit Singh said the department had taken samples of food items from different firms of the district. Out of which, eatables of five firms failed to qualify the standard test.
The outcome of the samples was produced before the ADC. He imposed a fine of Rs 5,000 each on Dalip Dairy, Abohar, Golden Dragon Restaurant, Jalalabad, and Vinod Kumar of Bhagu village of Abohar sub-division.
Besides, he also imposed a fine of Rs 4,000 each on Tarntarni Dhaba, Abohar, and Ravindra Dairy, Fazilka, as the samples taken from their business establishments could not qualify the standard test.
The ADC warned these firms to sell quality items by adhering to the Food Safety and Standard Act failing which they would be dealt with sternly.
The food inspector said that the department also took samples of mid-day meal from schools and suppliers. Two samples of mid-day meal each from Government Primary School, Rampura village, Government High School, Banwala Hanuwanta village, and Stri Shakti, the supplier of mid-day meal in the Jalalabad area, have been taken.
“District education officer, Fazilka, have been asked to personally check mid-day meal regularly,” Maan added.
