Vadodara Municipal Corporation to conduct extensive checking of food outlets during festive season

VADODARA: The Vadodara Municipal Corporation (VMC) has asked all persons engaged in the food business to ensure that they adhere to the provisions of the Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006. The civic body issued the advisory in wake of the fact that food items will be prepared and stored in large quantities during the festive season.
VMC officials said that the civic body was geared up to conduct tests and inspect food and sweetmeat outlets extensively. Officials said that even raw material used to prepare food items will be checked by the civic body.
The corporation's health department officials will collect samples and analyse these in its laboratory. Teams of the department will also carry kits to analyse the samples on the spot as well.
VMC officials checked some food outlets in the city Friday and collected 13 samples. Teams had visited shops in Makarpura, Alkapuri, Gotri, Waghodiya Road, Chokhandi, New Sama Road, and other areas. The samples will now be analysed at the civic body's public health laboratory. The process is expected to continue till November 2.
Officials said that extensive checking has been planned as it had come to light in the past that raw material and prepared food items that were not fit for consumption were stored. Adulteration was another issue that the officials want to check.
