Deputy Food Safety Commissioner Brojendro Khaba has urged the authority
concerned to take action against Food Safety Officer and Designated
Officer of Bishnupur district for not examining the processing units of
Silver Dew and Merina Spring packaged drinking water located at Joypur
Khunou in Bishnupur district.
Speaking to reporters, Brojendro Khaba said that the State Government has the authority to penalise the firms which sell/supply expired or adulterated food items and fake brands under Food Safety and Standards Act 2006 .
He added that people had already detected fungus-like particles and impurities in Silver Dew and Merina Spring packaged drinking water in the past as well.
These two brands of packaged drinking water are manufactured and supplied to the market by Cheers Packaged located at Joypur Khunou in Bishnupur district.
Saying that District Food Safety Officer and Designated Officer have not inspected the processing unit till date although presence of impurities has already been reported in the media, Brojendro urged the authority concerned to take action against these officers for this gross negligence.
He added that he would also elaborate the matter to the State Government as the State Food Safety Authority has the right to intervene into such matters.
