Ludhiana, November 23
A team of the health department conducted raids in canteens of schools and colleges and collected five samples of eatables. The team found that hygiene was not being maintained in most of the canteens. The raids were conducted on the directions of Civil Surgeon Dr Subhash Batta.
District health officer Dr Abnash Kumar said: “We collected five samples of eatables from canteens and shops."
The team of food safety officers Manoj Khosla and Harpreet Kaur collected three samples from three canteens — a sample of juice from the canteen of Ramgarhia College, samosa from Ramgarhia School and samosa from Devki Devi Jain School. A sample of burfi was collected from a sweets shop at Azad Nagar and a sample of burger from an eating joint at Westend Mall.
“We found that most of the canteens were serving eatables in unhygienic conditions. We have instructed employees of these canteens to follow dress code, keep their nails trimmed, get their medical tests done and not to use artificial colours in eatables. The canteen owners were also asked to apply for food licence,” said Khosla.
