A coordination committee, appointed by the Food Safety and Standards
Authority of India (FSSAI), has picked about 100 food joint owners and
their employees in nine food markets of Ahmedabad to train them in
preparing and serving food to their clients in a safe and hygienic way.
They were imparted training at the New West Zone office of the municipal
corporation here and given two weeks' time to show improvement.
Commissioner of Food and Drug Control Administration Dr H G Koshiya on Sunday said the vendors from the markets included the ones from Vastrapur, Kankaria, Akhbarnagar, Khokhra, Manek Chowk and Law Garden among others. "Our teams had visited these markets before calling them for the training and observed and photographed their way of operations. We imparted them training as per our programme and gave them complimentary kits of hand gloves, aprons and caps," he said.
"The FSSAI authorities were impressed by our efforts in the last one year. Their chairman, K Chandramauli, who visited the city, asked other states to follow suit," Koshiya said. "Till now, study teams from Bihar and Haryana have already visited the state and training has been started in some states already," he added. He said that in the later phases of training, the authorities will include non-vegetarian food markets like Jamalpur, Teen Darwaja and Juhapura.
The coordination committee team trained the people connected with food joints in these markets in maintaining hygiene standards at the road-side stalls. Koshiya said strict action would be followed if the trainee vendors ignored the training instructions.
The participants were told to wear cap, apron and hand gloves compulsorily every time they served or prepared food articles to clients. They were also asked to undergo regular health tests. The training was imparted by Koshiya, deputy secretary Mahesh Soni and the AMC public analyst Atul Soni.
