Vadodara: The Vadodara Municipal Corporation (VMC) food safety officers conducted extensive checking at sweet shops for the second consecutive day to ensure that inferior quality and adulterated sweets are not sold in the market ahead of the Rakshabandhan festival.
Teams of food safety officers checked establishments in Akota, Karelibaug, Jetalpur, Alkapuri, Nizampura, Tarsali and Ajwa Road areas of the city. Nearly nine shops were checked by the teams and 12 weet samples of different varieties were collected from the shops.
The samples will be tested at the food public health laboratory of the civic body. If the samples fail the tests, the civic body will file cases against the shops.
On Tuesday, six shops were checked by the officials and nine samples of sweets were sent to the public health laboratory for testing.
Officials said that the checking also focussed on ensuring that the shops maintained hygienic conditions.
