Bakery inspection drive begins
Imphal, June 24 2016 : As instructed by the Food Safety and Standard Authority of India (FSSAI), food safety officials of the Government of India have started inspecting bakeries to check whether they are using potassium bromate in baking breads and other similar products.
Notably, it has been reported that potassium bromate has the potential to breed cancer.
Apart from launching an extensive inspection drive at bakeries, food safety officials have also started inspecting ice cream factories to check whether they are abiding by food safety norms.
A bakery in Imphal East district was sealed yesterday after it was found not abiding by food safety norms.
Most of the bakeries opened in Imphal West and Imphal East districts do not possess necessary licences and they do not fulfil the criteria required for issuing licences, informed an official source.
Most of the bakeries have limited space and they are run in rented houses/rooms.
A single room often serves as sleeping room, store room, dining room and baking room.
Informing that most of the bakeries were found in unhygienic conditions, the source informed that food safety officials would submit a detailed report to the Government in order to take up necessary actions.
Due diligence must for making food safety reports public:FSSAI
NEW DELHI: Against the backdrop of a report claiming carcinogenic contents in bread, FSSAI today said such studies should be made public only after "due diligence", as otherwise it creates panic.
"While we appreciate the case... that highlights issues and points out various risks associated with the food we consume, there is also serious concern in terms of implications when such studies are reported in the media and tend to create panic," Food Safety Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) CEO Pawan Agarwal told reporters here.
Last month, the Sunita Narain-led Centre for Science and Environment (CSE) in its report had said commonly available brands of pre-packaged breads, including pav and buns, tested positive for potassium bromate and potassium iodate banned in many countries as these are listed as "hazardous" for public health.
Following that, FSSAI banned the use of potassium bromate as an additive in food products.
"... we have referred the issue to the scientific panel which is meeting on (June) 28th. In fact, we have invited CSE to make a presentation on potassium iodate and also on potassium bromate in terms of their findings," he said.
"And the scientific committee will also examine that issue in the context of recommendation of the joint parliamentary committee that had recommended a very cautious approach in reporting of issues relating to food without proper due diligence."
He was speaking at a CII event on launch of the CII-HUL Initiative on Food Safety Sciences (CHIFSS). FSSAI also signed an MoU with CHIFSS.
The Food Safety Management System Guidance Document for Ice Creams and Frozen Desserts was also released alongside the launch of CHIFSS website.

Sanjiv Mehta, CEO & MD, HUL, stressed on the need for a globally benchmarked national food safety agenda, founded on science-based food safety principles.
“We are delighted to see CHIFSS fructify into a reality. The pioneering partnership between CHIFSS and FSSAI will further strengthen industry-government collaboration to promote science based food safety which stimulates innovation while ensuring consumer safety,” he said in a statement.
Risk analysis
Pawan Agarwal, CEO, FSSAI, said the initiative will drive and disseminate food safety on science-based risk analysis in India and work toward improving food safety through fact and data based technical briefs, food safety plan guidance documents and online training programmes.
