Vadodara: Teams of the food safety department of the Vadodara Municipal Corporation (VMC) conducted surprise checking on Sunday night in areas that are known for a large number of food joints.
VMC officials had formed two teams to check eateries in Fatehgunj, Racecourse, Nyay Mandir, Mangal Bazaar, Padmavati Complex, Sursagar and Jubelibaug areas. The drive was organised in wake of the monsoon season when food and water related ailments are on a rise.
The teams checked 124 eateries during the drive. They collected 13 samples that were sent to the VMC's public health laboratory for analysis. The eateries were given strict instruction to maintain hygienic conditions.
During the drive, the officials disposed of 505litres of tamarind and mint water used for 'panipuris'. They also destroyed 145kg gravy, chutney and syrup. Officials also found 30kg chicken, 115kg cooked food and 35kg raw material unfit for consumption. Colours and sauces that were substandard were also destroyed.
