PANAJI: Food and drugs administration
(FDA) on Monday ordered the shutting of 70 roadside gaddas and
handcarts across the state as they were operating with out necessary
permissions and licences.
FDA director Salim Veljee said the handcarts did not have food licences nor did they possess municipal permissions or approvals. He said the handcarts and gaddas were selling various items such as Chinese fast food, tea, snacks and other eatables. They were operating in various parts of the state including Panaji, Margao, Mapusa, Ponda and Porvorim.
Veljee said food safety officers identified the violating gaddas and handcarts as part of the regular survey on controlling unlicenced street food and gaddas.
A few weeks ago, FDA had seized expired food items being sold in some prominent establishments and fined them. tnn
