Noida: Ahead of Holi, teams from the food safety and drug administration(FSDA) conducted raids on Tuesday and collected samples of dairy products and sweets from shops across Noida and Jewar.
Around 15 samples were collected from at least seven different shops in Sector 18 and Jewar and dairies in Mehndipur and Ravera villages. Mahendra Srivastava, FSDA officer (G B Nagar) said the samples included cream, mixed milk, cooking oil, sweets and cookies.
"The samples will be sent to a government laboratory in Lucknow for testing. Action will be taken against the shopowners if the samples are found adulturated," he said.
The raids were part of routine action against possible adulteration of food items ahead of festivals such as Holi and Diwali, officials said.
