The District Food Safety Unit, South Andaman, in association with Andaman Chamber of Commerce & Industry organized an awareness campaign on the enforcement of Food Safety and Standards Act 7 Rules in South Andaman District. The program was held at Hotel TSG Grand, Dollygunj on Mar 12, 2015, in which the officials of Food Safety department and District Administration sensitized the food business operators and other stakeholders on various aspects of enforcement of the new Act and Rules during the program. They explained the Do & Don't of the food and explained how to keep veg and non-veg food articles separately, besides maintenance of hygiene in surrounding while preparing food and serving it. The Inspection is done by the Food Safety department and the samples, if any, are sent to mainland for testing.
The queries and doubts of the food business operators were answered at the interactive session that followed the awareness generation programme. All food business operators, directly or indirectly associated with food manufacturing/distribution and sale of food articles have been attended the program.
The Food Safety Unit started operation in August 2011 at State level and Regional level from Campbell to Diglipur.
