With shopping for sweets and savouries going on in full swing with Deepavali less than three days away, the Food Safety Department has been coming down on shops and eateries selling sweets.
Officials from the department have conducted surprise checks over the last few weeks and given notices to 14 shops and warned against unhygienic conditions in the kitchens as well as general cleanliness and the quality of ingredients used. “The shops were given a 15-day period to make the changes we specified to prepare the sweets in a more hygienic environment. We carried out checks and found that 12 shops made the necessary changes,” said District Food Safety Officer J. Suguna. She further cautioned the public against buying sweets and cakes which were covered with newspapers.
