Vadodara: Teams of the Vadodara Municipal Corporation (VMC) on Friday cracked down upon highway eateries and ‘dhabas’ located on the national highway and roads connecting it to the city. Officers also visited street food vendors to check if they had started implementing the hygiene tips given to them in a workshop recently.
Food safety officers of the civic body checked nine eateries located near Kapurai Crossroads, Ajwa Crossroads and Golden Crossroads in the city limits. Officials collected nine samples of food items from these eateries. The samples will be tested at the public health laboratory of the VMC.
The drive revealed that six of the nine eateries were not maintaining hygienic standards. The officers issued notices to all the six eateries.
In the evening, teams visited the Kamatibaug, Fatehgunj and other areas of the city to check if street food vendors were following tips given to them during a recent workshop. It came to light that many of them had started using aprons and caps as suggested by the experts. They were also seen trying to ensure that other suggestions were implemented.
