Members of the Social Awareness Movement petitioned the District Collector here on Monday asking him to direct the food safety authorities concerned to test all types of packaged food items, and to impose a ban on them if found harmful to consumers. They came to the Collectorate carrying packets of some snacks stating that the manufacturers were advertising the product healthy food.
The organisation’s president J.D. Socrates claimed that no action has been taken against manufacturers of packed products so far despite repeated petitions submitted to the Collector. He alleged that a senior food safety officer here was colluding with companies against whom complaints were lodged on earlier occasion.
He said that action should be taken against juice, and flour manufacturers too.
