NOIDA: The district food safety department has launched a drive against sweet shops selling adulterated food items on the eve of Holi. Department officials have been asked to conduct surprise checks at such shops across the city.
"Officials will conduct raids at shops selling adulterated food items. Samples collected will be sent to Lucknow for investigation and strict action will be taken against the guilty," said Ajay Kumar, chief food safety inspector.
Buyers can also lodge complaints related to food adulteration on the department's emergency numbers.
The department officials warned people that bright-coloured sweets could contain harmful chemicals that cause food poisoning, stomach ache, vomiting and infection.
