‘No poisonous ingredients in food samples’
PUNE:
Mystery continues to surround the death of two Katraj dairy employees
who died after consuming food at the Sagar Dhaba on Mumbai-Bangalore
Highway last month.
Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Pune has found no poisonous ingredients in the collected food samples.
“According
to the lab analysis reports, no poisonous ingredient was found in the
collected samples. Only the paneer was found to be of sub-standard
quality with low fat percentage. Therefore, no food poisoning case will
be lodged. However, a complaint was registered against the Dhaba owner
for using sub-standard quality of paneer,” said Shivkumar Kodgire, FDA
Assistant Commissioner.
On May 18, two
employees of the Katraj Dairy, run by the Pune Zilla Sahakari Dudh
Utpadak Sangh, were on their way to the milk city, Anand, to attend a
seminar on the dairy industry. They died in Gujarat due to suspected
food poisoning. The FDA food inspectors then collected samples of
paneer, oil, rice and flour from the Sagar Dhaba in Maval taluka, where
they had their dinner. The samples were sent to the State Analysis
Laboratory. The viscera of the two employees is awaited from the Gujarat
police. After the incident, the FDA had undertaken an inspection drive
of dhabas on the highways.
Speaking to
Sakal Times, FDA Joint Commissioner (Pune Division) SR Kekare said,
“The FDA squad checked adulteration of edible items like flour, oil and
food quality, hygienic condition of the kitchen, the cook, pest control,
medical check up of the dhaba employees etc. In all, 38 dhaba owners
have been sent improvement notices.”
After a period of 14 days, verification is done and necessary action would be taken, he added.

FDA to train city’s food business operators
Under this ambitious project,
all the food business operators in the city will be trained on the
sanitary and hygienic practices.
While
the experiment by FDA of training the roadside food vendors outside
Saras Baug was a failure, it is optimistic about the upcoming food
safety projects as it will now have the provision to take legal action
against food business operators if they fail in the hygienic practices
after completion of the training.
The project will be joint venture of the FDA, Pune and Bindra Hospitality Services Private Limited.
“In
a city like Pune that has around 9,000 small, medium and big food
business operators, it is difficult to train all of them. Therefore, a
phase-wise mass training in food handling and hygiene practices will be
given to all the restaurant owners, followed by kitchen operators of
various hotels and restaurants and basic food cart owners, home-based
mess owners and street vendors,” said S R Kekare, Joint Commissioner
(food) of FDA Pune.
The programme is designed as per Schedule 4 of the Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006.
Free
training will be given in a phased manner starting from hotel,
restaurant owners, managers, waiters and kitchen workers, home-based
mess and street vendors. All the operators will be registered and given
certificates after successful completion of the training.
“Often,
street vendors complain about not being aware of the Act and
maintaining hygiene levels. Hospitality experts will train them
scientifically and FDA officials will train them on the provisions of
the Act,” he added.
The training
sessions will comprise of cleaning the equipment and containers,
management and supervision, food testing facilities, audit,
documentation and records, personal hygiene, managing raw material,
drainage and waste disposal and ventilation and lighting. The training
will be given in Marathi, Hindi and English languages.

Govt dispatches 15 teams to test Rajasthan salt's worth
Rajasthan is the third largest salt producing state in India as it produces 1,96,000 tonnes of clean salt
every year which is 8.7% of country's total salt production. But in the inter-departmental meeting recently, there were discussions that the salt manufacturers in Nawa, Sambhar and Phalaudi are under lens for not maintaining proper Food and Safety Act standards.
There are complaints of manufacturers not maintaining standards of iodine salt. To look into the matter, teams of health department have been sent for investigation.
Talking to DNA, Dr BR Meena, health director, said, "During the recent inter-departmental meetings, it came to our notice that salt manufactures in Nawa, Sambhar and Phalaudi are not maintainin
g the standards required to manufacture salt."
There are complaints that iodine is not being used as per the standards prescribed under the Food Safety and Standard Act. For which, around 15 teams have been sent for inspection. Anybody found flouting the norms will be punished under the Food Safety and Standard Act, he added.
There are around 200 salt manufacturers in Nawa and Phalaudi where salt is manufactured and supplied throughout the country.
Flouting norms!

DFRL food to fight fatigue
Mysore:
After years of rigorous hard work, food scientists at Defence Food
Research Laboratory (DFRL) are on the verge of revolutionizing the food
industry.
An array of new generation nutraceuticals are being
developed by the defence lab, which will help Indian jawans fight
anxiety, sleep and fatigue for several hours without food or the minimum
food in extreme conditions. In fact, in-house trials done on white mice
proved that these foods will enhance performance.
Now, scientists
are gearing-up for ‘last-leg’ human trials before seeking necessary
clearances from the Directorate General Armed Forces Medical Services
(DGAFMC). Dr K. Radhakrishna, additional director, DFRL, told Deccan
Chronicle that there is a huge demand from the Indian army for
performance enhancing foods.
This was the thrust area for DFRL in
the 11th five-year plan and will continue to be in the 12th plan too.
Only a few developed countries like the USA have done extensive research
in this emerging area of food sciences and India will join the ‘elite’
club shortly.
“Though the products are still at the R&D stage,
the in-house trials have already given the desired results”, Dr
Radhakrishna said.
These nutraceuticals also have immense
potential in the civilian market, both domestic and international. For
example, a student can use these products to bust stress and depression
during exam time. Importantly, these products don’t have any
side-effects and are purely developed using micro-nutrients and
anti-oxidants extracted from natural herbs and plants, said a senior
DFRL scientist working with the project.
Already, DFRL has
developed several appetizers, stress-relieving biscuits, squash rich in
anti-oxidants from sea buckthorn, fruits and leaves, low-calorie aloe
vera drink for diabetics, cholesterol-lowering food and memory-enhancing
chocolates. Microbiological safety and shelf-life parameters were
checked as per international standards, Dr Radhakrishna added.
FSSAI testing packaged water samples and preparing database of quality
The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) – the
country's apex food regulator – has commenced the testing of samples of
packaged drinking water from different sources across India for various
microbiological and chemical components. It is also working on the
preparation of a database of the quality of packaged drinking water.
The Authority has taken these steps following a letter by health minister Ghulam Nabi Azad urging it to ensure checking of units manufacturing packaged drinking water. The minister apprised the body of a spate of complaints about the quality of packaged drinking water being supplied to consumers in Delhi and the National Capital Region (NCR).
A senior FSSAI official said, “We have directed the food safety commissioners to test the quality of packaged drinking water and make the results available to us. The work has already begun. It is expected to take a while to complete. Only then we will comment on the issue.”
“FSSAI, however, will prepare the database upon the completion of the tests. The authority has also decided that the state food safety officers should conduct sampling of the packaged water at regular intervals. However, the duration of the sample collection will be set only after the results of the first phase of sampling are declared,” he added.
He further informed that the FSSAI had hired a legal firm to deal with the legal cases that come to the fore while implementing the regulations, and added that as far as the number of cases filed was concerned, no data was currently available.
“The Food Safety and Standards Act (FSSA), 2006, has a provision to set up tribunals for cases related to food safety and the process has, in fact, begun in the states. Currently the cases are filed in regular courts, but once the tribunals are set up, the hearings will take place in the tribunals,” he stated.

Sustainability code for tea industry from July 11
VADODARA: Tea Board Chairman MGVK Bhanu has said the board will unveil a
'sustainability code' for the industry on July 11, and redefine the way
it operates.
Addressing the 24th annual general meeting of the Federation of All-India Tea Traders Associations at Anand, about 40 kilometres from Vadodara, Bhanu said yesterday: "The board will introduce a set of parameters which will redefine the way tea industry works, right from production to certification to labour welfare to maintenance of global safety standards."
Stating that the code will be viable for all the stakeholders, Bhanu added, "the sustainability code is a broad-based package aimed at all-round development of the tea sector."
Being developed by the board in collaboration with four reputed agencies associated with the industry, the code encompasses all aspects of tea production.
"The aim of the initiative is to sustain the tea industry by following the set of codes developed keeping Indian realities and globally accepted sustainability principles in mind to improve the social and economic conditions of the plantations," Tea Board adviser and former Director G Boriah said.
The code will also include parameters to be adopted to boost productivity, introduce labour welfare measures, maintain safety standards in factories and limit use of pesticides in the plantations.
He said the board had evolved a draft code that would be launched on a pilot basis and tested for the next six to nine months.
"The idea is to improve quality compliance, mitigate effects of climate change, ensure ethical sourcing and inclusion of small farmers in the mainstream," he said.
He further said the sustainability code is aimed at ensuring that consumers get a healthy cup of tea, keeping in mind the food safety standards, importance for which is growing globally.

Rotten meat enters city, this time by bus
The meat had been transported from Karnataka and was to be unloaded in Periamet, Vepery and Kilpauk
Food safety department officials on Sunday seized 2.5
tonnes of rotten meat that was transported into the city by bus. Having
received a tip-off on Saturday, the officials waited at three locations
along Poonamallee High Road at dawn and seized the meat parcels.
The
officials found packets of rotten meat which were being smuggled in
through buses coming from Karnataka. Soon, the police and officials of
Chennai Corporation’s health department reached the spot and analysed
the samples. The meat was of inferior quality and was making its way to
eateries in the city.
The meat was destroyed in
Kodungaiyur dump yard. The food safety officials will create awareness
among traders this week on the impact of such trade on public health.
Earlier
in September 2012, the civic body had cracked down on business units in
the city that had been found smuggling carcasses from Nellore,
Vijayawada and Kakinada in trains. Chennai Central and Egmore stations
were the hubs of this illegal trade.
So far, over 25 tonnes of rotten meat have been seized in the city.
No business units in the city were sealed on Sunday.
The meat parcels were meant to be unloaded in Periamet, Vepery and Kilpauk.
2,500kg of rotting beef seized from K’taka bus
Chennai: Beef smugglers have found a new mode of transport — inter-state and district buses.
After facing the heat from raids and seizures from Chennai Corporation and railway officials at Egmore railway station, smugglers seemed to have turned to transport by road. “They seem to have taken to buses because there are fewer checks. Only during the Diwali season are buses checked regularly,” said a corporation official.
On Sunday morning, based on a tip-off, officials stopped a bus from Vaniyambadi with a Karnataka registration number on EVR Periyar Salai. They found 2,500kg of beef in gunny bags in the luggage compartment. “Small plastic packets of meat were stored in other bags,” said Chennai district food officer S Lakshminarayanan.
The meat was discoloured, and the bus driver did not have any documents for the beef such as a bill of sale, details of buyers or a veterinarian certificate, said food safety officers. “The corporation’s veterinary officer saw the colour of the meat and deemed it unfit for consumption. Since there were no certificates, we think the meat could have been obtained from unauthorised slaughter houses, and thus can’t be sold,” said Lakshminarayanan. The luggage compartment of a bus is neither airconditioned nor hascoldstorage facilities.
Bus operators said the meat was from Vaniyambadi and meant for door-to-door sale in Muslim houses. Officials suspect that the meat is from Andhra Pradesh and more than 24 hours old.
“According to the information we received, it is from outsidethestate,” said an official. “The beef was probably going to be used to adulterate mutton. Large shops and restaurants, which buy in bulk, often purchase mutton mixed with beef,” said Lakshminarayanan. The mix can be 5kg of beef to 30kg of mutton. He said the adulteration is mild and can only be discerned through testing of the meat’s muscle strains.
Corporation officials said such adulteration could cause health complications. “Hotels who buy in bulk need meat cheap,” said an official. “Serving rotten meat could cause an outbreakof food poisoning,” an official said.
Last year, railway police and corporation officials seized thousands of kilograms of beef entering the city through Egmore and Central railway stations. They intensified raids on trains coming from Andhra Pradesh and Rajasthan.
The immediate effect of Sunday’s seizure seemed to be a rise in beef and mutton prices in Chintadripet and Periamet. Beef, which became pricier threeweeks ago, was even more expensive became on Sunday afternoon. “The price of beef went up from 150 to 180 a kg three weeks ago,” said Sajan, who runs Kerala Mess in Teynampet.
“Webuy our Sundaystock by 5.30am,” said Areef Amin, who runs a biriyani outlet on Sydenhams Road. “We needed more mutton and beef around noon, and had to pay 190 per kg of beef,” he said.

Dist health officials issue contradictory statements
Ludhiana, June 16
The district health officer and the food safety officer, it seems, are in a confrontation mode. The former claims that the practice of collecting legal samples started after he joined as the district health officer in Ludhiana, but the latter belies his claims.
Talking to the Tribune, district health officer Dr Avinash Kumar said: “Before I joined, the district health department used to collect quality samples of eatables. The collection of legal samples started during my tenure. In May, we collected 16 samples of eatables, out of which three failed the purity test.”
Refuting his claims, food safety officer, Ludhiana, Harpreet Kaur said: “We were collecting legal samples even before the district health officer joined in Ludhiana. We collected five samples of mid-day meal from the central kitchen situated at Sherpur Kalan last year before Dr Avinash Kumar joined in Ludhiana."
However, taking a U-turn, the district health officer later said: “I was not aware that the legal samples were being collected in the district before my joining.”
3 samples fail test
The district helath officer said: “In May, the health team collected 16 legal samples of mid-day meals from different places, including the central kitchen. The samples of raw rice were found substandard. A case will be filed in the court of adjudicating officer-cum additional deputy commissioner (general). The other samples were of cooked rice, which were found unfit for human consumption. The cases will be filed in the court of the chief judicial magistrate.”
What’s the difference?
