AMBALA: A team of Food and Drugs Administration (FDA) Department collected milk samples randomly early in the morning from different dairies and milkmen in Ambala Cantonment and city areas. The samples were collected under the supervision of district FDA officer Subhash Chander.
Many milkmen were witnessed changing the roads after spotting the FDA team collecting samples of the milk.
Subhash, while talking to TOI, said: “So far we have collected nearly 25 samples of milk from different dairies and milkmen and on Saturday we collected eight milk samples, which have been sent to food laboratory in Karnal for tests and reports will be obtained after 14 days. Further action will be taken after receiving the reports. The drive will continue in the coming days and we will collect as many samples as we can.”
As per information, the FDA had been receiving complaints from the residents that some of the milkmen had been supplying them adulterated milk. Acting on these complaints, the FDA team had started to collect the samples randomly from different milkmen and dairies.
Earlier, during the festivals season, the FDA had collected 76 samples of sweets and edible items from different places and out of which, 16 had failed the test at Food Laboratory in Karnal. The department had sent notices to the defaulters to give the justifications of the adulteration in the edible items and fines as per law were collected from them.
That was a good message about food safety collections about milk. Just came to know about how milk is collected and also tested and how it is been supplied after the testing.
