JMC inspects milk vends in city

Jammu, October 19
Continuing its drive against adulteration of milk in view of the forthcoming festival season, the Jammu Municipal Corporation (JMC) today inspected about 2,000 litres of milk.
A team of food safety officers under the supervision of Dr Vinod Sharma, health officer, Jammu Municipal Corporation (JMC), inspected prominent sweet and milk shops in Sanjay Nagar, Digiana, Nanak Nagar, Talab Tillo, Canal Road, Mast Garh, Pacca Danga, Kachi Chowni and Kucha Sabzi Mandi area.
The Municipal Corporation has asked all food establishment owners to ensure proper food supply to the general public and maintain standard of hygienic conditions on their premises, failing which strict action would be taken against them under law.
The general public is requested to cooperate with the Jammu Municipal Corporation and share information regarding poor quality of food products, if any. On October 5, a team of the JMC was attacked by milk suppliers who were in possession of the adulterated milk.
A finding by the Food Safety and Standard Authority of India (FSSAI) has found that 83 per cent of milk sold in districts of the state is not safe for consumption.
