Yet another food product is in trouble as a consumer, accompanied by around 50 friends and relatives, approached Tamil Nadu Food Safety and Drug Administration Department (Food Safety Wing) office here and claimed that they found live weevils, a type of beetle, inside a baby food packet.
In his complaint, he claimed that he had purchased a packet of product from a retail outlet in Selvapuram four days ago. When he opened it on Tuesday, he found live weevils in it. Following the complaint, Food Safety Wing Designated Officer R. Kathiravan led a team and found out the batch from which this packet was sold. He traced it to the wholesale dealer and took three samples.
These would be tested at the Government Food Safety Laboratory here. Coimbatore has one of the six laboratories approved under the Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006.
