JAMMU, Oct 9: To create awareness amongst food vendors and shopkeepers outside Bawe Wali Mata temple, a camp was organized today by a Food Safety team of Drug and Food Control Organization.
A large number of food vendors and shopkeepers, particularly sweet sellers of the area participated in the awareness camp, which was organized under the overall supervision of Commissioner, Food Safety, in view of the holy Navratras.
Stating that food safety is closely linked with health, Dr Parvesh Kumar, Assistant Commissioner, Food Safety, instructed the vendors and shopkeepers to keep their premises and surroundings clean as ‘Practicing good hygiene and maintaining cleanliness’ are the mantras for making safe food.
Food Safety team also demonstrated steps to make street food safe. The food vendors showed tremendous enthusiasm in learning good practices of making safe food. They were asked not to use inferior and adulterated raw material for making food and always cook food in clean utensils
The team also asked the vendors not to use old newspapers and polythene for packing and selling the food items like sweets and instead use brown paper. They also asked them to keep dustbins in their premises to avoid littering of garbage and avoid throwing filthy water in front of their establishments and on path to the temple premises.
Food Safety officers Ajay Khajuria and Dileep Singh were also present on the occasion.
