At a meeting convened by Tamil Nadu Commissioner of Food Safety by Beela Rajesh, Designated Officers of Food Safety and Drug Administration Department were instructed to conduct inspections at packaged drinking water units across the State.
S Chithra, Designated Officer, Food Safety and Drug Administration, Tiruchi, said that the inspections would begin on Friday and would go on for a week. “There are around 5 units within the city and over 30 across the district. The inspections are meant to ensure supply of clean drinking water,” she said.
All water packaging units supplying bubble top water cans must have four certificates. An Indian Statistical Institute (ISI) certificate, a Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) number, a Food Safety and Drug Administration Department certificate and in case they are sourcing their water from groundwater resources, a certificate was needed for that too. “All certificates must be in order for the unit to function. Without them, the unit will be forced to shut down,” said Ms. Chithra.
There have been violations in the past, Ms. Chithra added.
Samples which will be collected at all units will be sent for quality testing. The samples fall into four categories — unsafe, sub-standard and complied to standards and, genuine. “There are some units, especially near Cauvery river who have dug up borewells and are supplying tankers and drinking water. These will have to be checked,” she said.
