A high-level meeting will be held here to discuss and decide on steps to counter food adulteration and sale of stale food and meat products during the Onam and Ramzan period.
Ten ministers would attend the meeting called by the health department on August 13. Health minister V.S. Sivakumar’s office said the authorities would draw up a foolproof plan after the high-level meeting to check food adulteration.
The meeting will be attended by ministers of finance, tourism, health, local self government, animal husbandry, fisheries and agriculture.
“The meeting will review the current scenario and decide on the steps to check adulteration in food items. Screening of hotels alone will not help. We should check the quality of the items used for
cooking,” the minister’s office said.
Meanwhile, the government has decided to grade hotels and restaurants. As part of this, the health department has asked officials to make a list of the hotels, restaurants and thattukadas.
