JAMMU, Mar 16: About 135 quintals of ‘atta’ at new store of the Food, Civil Supplies and Consumer Affairs (FCS&CA) Department located at Nagrota was seized today by a Food Safety team and after sampling sent for testing in the laboratory.
A Food Safety team led by Food Safety Officer Pervaiz Ahmed today conducted a surprise inspection of the FCS&CA store at Nagrota and seized the whole lot of ‘atta’ which was near about 135 quintals packed in 270 bags of 50 kg weight each. The team also lifted samples of the seized ‘atta’ and sent for its quality testing in the Food Safety laboratory of Jammu.
According to the reports, the seized ‘atta’ were supplied by five different Mills-Durga Flour Mill, Bari Brahmana (8 quintals), Ambika Flour Mill, Seora, Bishnah (40 quintals), National Rural Flour Mill, Gangyal (40 quintals), JK Flour Mill, RS Pura (7 quintals) and Shri Vaishno Flour Mill, Bari Brahmana (40 quintals).
The inspection was conducted under the supervision of Designated Officer Devi Dutt Sharma, and on the directions of Commissioner, Food Safety, J&K, Dr Abdul Kabir Dar. The inspection officers also instructed the store officials not to supply atta in fair price shops till the outcome of the testing report.
The action came as a follow up of the Excelsior story published two days back in which it was highlighted that the sub-standard ‘atta’ is being supplied in Government depots.
Zomato, Swiggy served notices for delivering non-veg food in Haridwar
DEHRADUN: The food safety section of Uttarakhand health department has served notices to officials of Swiggy and Zomato in Haridwar for violating municipal norms by delivering non-vegetarian food in restricted areas of the holy city.
Giving out details, RS Pal, deputy food safety officer, Haridwar, said, “Local residents had complained to city magistrate Jagdish Lal recently. Following which, we were asked to investigate the matter. The two companies failed to show Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) licence to the teams that had gone to inspect their offices. The firms also had not obtained no-objection certificates from the municipal corporation to deliver non-veg products.”
He added that they violated the bylaws of the holy city and hurt the sentiments of the locals. “The bylaws of Haridwar municipal corporation prohibit sale of non-veg food items and meat products within city limits, including Jawalapur, Har-ki-Pauri, Kankhal, Kharkhari, Motichur and Haripur areas. We have now given them seven days to present their side.”
When contacted, Zomato said in an emailed reply, “We have been working with FSSAI over the past year to ensure that there are no complaints. We have already applied for a licence for our operations in Haridwar. We respect the religious sentiments of the holy city and will oblige with the directives set by the authorities.”
A Swiggy spokesperson said, “We deeply regret the lapse in delivering non-veg food in the restricted area. We have addressed the issue and would like to reiterate that as of March 16, Swiggy is delivering only vegetarian food in Haridwar.” The email further stated, “Swiggy has a central FSSAI licence and only lists FSSAI registered restaurants on the platform.”

Packaged food to be marked red if it doesn’t meet safety norms
NEW DELHI: After the advertising and packaging regulations, Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) is almost ready with the draft labelling regulations under which the packaged food items across the country will carry large red labels specifying if the food is high on fats, sugar or salt (HFSS).
The draft regulations will soon be released for public comments, Kumar Anil, adviser to FSSAI, said at Centre for Science and Environment’s ‘National Conclave on Food’ on Friday. While the advertising regulations will come into effect on July 1, the packaging norms were implemented recently.
At the session on ‘regulating bad foods”, large gaps were identified, including in labelling and in claims of companies comparing the nutrient value of their food items to that of healthy products without substantial evidence. Anil assured the audience that the new advertising and claim regulations would keep a tab on the problem.
“We are trying to address claims like pure, real, natural and sugar-free and the new advertising regulations comprehensively cover this. There are parameters for comparison and if you are meeting these parameters, only then you can make a claim. This will be implemented from July 1 to ensure that people are not deceived by any wrong claim by companies,” said Anil.
While the packaging regulations were notified recently, Anil said the new labelling regulations would mark all packaged food items, including the ultra-processed ones, with the ‘red’ mark if they fail to meet the specified standards. Citing examples of sugar and trans fat, Anil said 100gm or 100ml of each item would be taken as the basis with 10% of the total energy coming from sugar warranting a ‘red’ label of high sugar, while 1% of the total energy from trans fat would be taken as beyond the permissible limit.
The draft has taken examples from abroad as well, including Chile that has seen an improvement in eating habits after large warning labels were introduced on the front of all food packets.
“The draft should help iron out some of the problems and it appears to be strong at this stage. The issue of HFSS regulation has been a long-standing problem and the gaps identified by different groups should help increase consumer awareness, allowing people to make better decisions,” said Sunita Narain, director general of CSE.
Responding to the gaps in regulating marketing tactics of the food industry, Chandra Bhushan, deputy director general of CSE, said, “We must keep a check on HFSS food advertisements targeted at children. A comprehensive framework to effectively regulate advertisements across broadcasting and new-age digital media is missing.”
Cos drop ‘triclosan’ after US FDA ban
Leading dental care company Colgate-Palmolive (India) has removed triclosan from its toothpaste following a global move by the parent company. Colgate-Palmolive (India) has reformulated its premium toothpaste as New Colgate Total by replacing triclosan with zinc and arginine which, the company claims, makes the new product better than the one with triclosan.
Leading soap maker Hindustan Unilever (HUL) has already phased out triclosan from both its soaps/handwash and toothpaste products, a spokesperson confirmed.
An official spokesperson from Colgate-Palmolive (India) said, “In India, the use of triclosan in Colgate Total was in conformance with the standards prescribed by the Bureau of Indian Standards and approved by the Indian FDA.” The spokesperson maintained that the US FDA approved Colgate Total with triclosan as “safe and effective” and that approval has not changed.
When triclosan was banned in soaps, the American oral care multinational had reportedly strongly defended the usage of the ingredient in its largest selling toothpaste brand on the grounds that the benefits override any risks associated with the chemical.
In the late ’90s, triclosan was the main point for a marketing and advertising battle fought between Pepsodent and Colgate. It was a time when marketers flaunted the presence of triclosan in their products. HUL came up with an advertisement comparing the efficacies of Pepsodent with Colgate Dental Cream. Pepsodent used triclosan to say that it was “102% better than the ordinary toothpaste”.
The mid-priced Colgate Dental Cream initially did not contain triclosan and it was forced to change its tag line from “ Stops bad breath, fights tooth decay” to “Stop bad breath, fight tooth decay”. It later added triclosan to remain competitive. The warring parties later reconciled because now both brands had triclosan. But following the campaign, HUL managed to take a bite off Colgate’s share. Today, however, Colgate continues to be a market leader with a volume share of around 52%, while HUL’s total share is around 17%.
An HUL spokesperson said, “Pepsodent does not contain triclosan.” What started as concerns on pharmaceutical molecule offerings is now spreading to the soft spaces of consumption items such as toothpaste, talcum powder and more. Brand expert Harish Bijoor, founder of Harish Bijoor Consults Inc, said there’s a need for a complete brand ingredient audit across categories.
The effects of the presence of triclosan in different products is varied and differs from each product, said Ashwin Bhadri, CEO of Equinox Labs, a food safety and auditing company.

Do street food joints at Mumbai beaches meet hygiene standards?
In the song, From the Ritz to the Rubble, popular British indie band Arctic Monkey's vocalist Alex Turner croons, "Well, this town's a different town today; Said, this town's a different town to what it was last night." Turner probably has no idea how these words relate to Mumbai, which is changing all the time. It's also as much Ritz as it is rubble: like the transition from Bandra's quaint alleys to the chaos of Dharavi. But it's alive and how.
It is possible to spot a glimpse of this microcosm in places like the bustling Chowpatty in Girgaum or Juhu, where you will find a burqa-clad newlywed laughing coquettishly as she enjoys spicy pani puri. Beside her, a college-going kid slurps away at a juicy gola, while a touristy firang struggles to eat pav bhaji with his hands.
As these two street food centres cater to so many people, on March 5, the Government of Maharashtra decided to designate them as Clean Street Hubs, after they went through a facelift and passed the audit by the Food Safety Standards Association of India (FSSAI) that confirmed that both destinations had met with the institution's cleanliness and hygiene standards. Read on to find out how both fared when we dropped by.
Grub shup in Girgaum
On a Tuesday night, we arrive at Girgaum Chowpatty glittering in the glow of the freshly installed lights. The stalls have been refurbished and elevated with the help of embankments, and coarse green mats made to replicate grass have been laid out by the sides. One wall sports a bright mural comprising a life-size bicycle. The centre space has a brand new wash basin that appears speckled — a closer look confirms it's food splatter and paan spit.
We also spot green and blue dustbins, demarcated for dry and wet waste. A laudable move towards waste segregation, but a peek inside confirms no one really cares. The cooks and stall owners are dutifully wearing masks and gloves in keeping with the new rules. They seem delighted about the change, the nonchalance of the customers nothwithstanding. We try a few eats.
At Opposite Amar Juice Centre, NA Purandare Marg.
Pani puri: We are not fretting about paying R40 for a plate of pani puri at Sharma Ji stall, while it costs between R15 and R20 on the streets. After all, in India, sanitation comes at a price. Not a fan of ragda, we opt for the one with batata only and ask the bhaiya to skip the sweet chutney, too. We dislike the overtly spicy and flavourless pani puris here and miss the chatpata version we relish near our office in Kalanagar.
Pav bhaji: At Shetty's pav bhaji, the stall-walas are enthusiastic and attentive. Our plate comes soon with a generous dollop of butter and pavs that glisten from the grease. It's a bit much, and the strong kick of over-used garam masala dampens the extravagance. Our verdict? Not worth R100.
Gola: At the far end of Chowpatty, is Daddy's Corner. "Ab toh firangi log bhi aa rahein hain," says Pushpendra, the owner, referring to the clean sweep. We pick the kalakhatta flavour and pay R60 for our treat, and enjoy the sweet, tangy and masaledar taste of the desi popsicle.
Cleanliness/met standards

Taste verdict/***
Street jam in juhu
On the following day when we head to Juhu Chowpatty, it feels like Saturday. Alan Walker's hit chartbuster, Faded, is blaring from a stall, and the place is crowded.
Dustbins are placed haphazardly, facemasks hang lazily around the necks of thelawallahs, unattended plates lay strewn around the stalls — our first impression is, "What has changed?" "It's a little better," our companion remarks. We move on, hoping that at least the food leaves a mark.
At Beside Dominoes, JBS, Survey No 73, Juhu Tara Road, Juhu.
Sev puri: We ask for a plate of the classic Bambaiyya chaat that comes at R40 at Sai Kripa Bhel Puri and Chaat Centre. The vibrant-looking snack is a perky medley of flavours and we love the tang from the chopped raw mangoes.
Pav bhaji: Maybe Juhu's cleanliness standards are not as high as Girgaum's, but its pav bhaji is definitely better. The amount of butter used is generous, but not overbearing and we enjoy the piquant vegetable mash. The pavs are softer, too. At Krishna Pav Bhaji, a plate of the dish costs R120.
Ice cream falooda: Having had falooda with kulfi forever, we are astounded by this desi-videsi mix and are eager to see what the sweet vermicelli tastes like with ice cream. We opt for the kaju anjeer ice cream falooda at Dreamland where the pocket pinch is R90 per sundae. We relish the dessert that is made with kaju-anjeer syrup, milk, sabja, falooda, anjeer ice cream and dried fruits.
Cos drop 'triclosan' after US FDA ban
MUMBAI: Consumer product companies in India are phasing out the controversial anti-bacterial 'triclosan' from soap and toothpaste products. The US FDA had banned triclosan from consumer anti-bacterial soaps and body washes a couple of years ago.
Leading dental care company Colgate-Palmolive (India) has removed triclosan from its toothpaste following a global move by the parent company.

வீட்டு வாசலில் வேன் வந்து நிற்க, லன்ச் பாக்ஸில் சாப்பாட்டை அவசரம் அவசரமாக திணிக்கும் பெற்றோரைப் பார்க்க முடியும். வீட்டுக்கு அருகில் இருக்கும் பள்ளி என்றால், அம்மாவே நேரில் சென்று, பிள்ளைகளுக்கு ஊட்டி விடும் அம்மாக்களையும் பார்க்க முடியும். இப்போது புதிய முறையில் பிள்ளைகளுக்கு லன்ச் அனுப்பும் வழக்கம் தொடங்கியுள்ளது. ஸ்விக்கி, உபர் போன்ற ஆன் லைன் உணவு டெலிவரி செய்யும் நிறுவனங்களில் பெற்றோர் ஆர்டர் செய்ய, அவர்கள் பள்ளிகளில் டெலிவரி செய்யும் பழக்கம் உருவாகியுள்ளது. இதனால், சென்னையில் ஒரு தனியார் பள்ளியில் 2-ம் வகுப்பு முதல் 12 ம் வகுப்பு வரை உள்ள மாணவர்களின் பெற்றோர்களுக்கு மின்னஞ்சல் அனுப்பியுள்ளது. அதில், உணவு டெலிவரி செய்யும் நிறுவனம் மூலம் மாணவர்களுக்கு உணவு அனுப்பக் கூடாது என்று தெரிவித்துள்ளது.

Panipuri is trending. But is it safe?
Renu PS remembers cramming down pani puris when she was a student in Manipal. “It was commonly available there and I was having it for the first time,” says Renu, who used to work as a medical microbiologist. “As youngsters, we never bothered if it was healthy. All that mattered was that it was tasty and interesting,” she says.
As a mother of three young children though, Renu’s attitude today to the pani puri stalls, which have mushroomed around Kochi, is quite different. “Now I am concerned about the oil, the fact that they don’t keep the ingredients covered and that they probably reuse leftovers,” she says.
Adding to such concerns of consumers like her, in a recent incident at an outlet in Tripunithura which serves the popular north Indian street-side snack, a woman had vomited immediately after eating it. It prompted the food safety department to conduct raids in outlets in the area. Food safety officer Rani Chacko says that while they conducted a raid at the outlet over consumer complaints of stale pani puri being served, the officers did not find anything seriously wrong. “According to the discretion of the officers, if we feel it is a small issue, as a first step we give a rectification notice. The defects we have pointed out to them have to be tackled in a day before we give them the permission to operate again,” she says.
The food safety department does not have a record of how many such ‘petty retailers’ operate or under what conditions and they take action only if an incident is brought to their notice.
Around the city, at around 4 pm as pani puri sellers begin to set up their carts, they already have a clientele waiting. The vendors come with a large tray of mashed potato which is filled into bite-sized puris and topped with tangy and sweet watery gravy. It is a very hand-intensive operation; the puri is popped, filled and dipped into the water by the vendor.
Die-hard pani puri fans, such as media entrepreneur Jayakrishnan G Pillai who treats his team to pani puri at the stalls, say customers are not here for healthy food. “I grew up in Mumbai and Gujarat, so I feel mentally prepared for a slight lack of hygiene. In Kerala, because we are not used to it, it feels problematic,” he says, adding he suffered food poisoning once from the food, but it did not put him off for long.
Freelance dietician Fiza Nawaz, who did a thesis and documentary on the street food vendors of Kochi, says that she had drawn up a list of risk factors in street food in general and those specific to pani puri and chat stalls. On top of the list were that stalls were located near garbage dumps and the water for washing utensils was not from a tap but from buckets, which meant it was most likely being reused.
“We sent some samples to the lab and found an alarmingly high count of microbes, particularly the staphylococcus aureus, which in high quantities bring on the symptoms of food poisoning,” she notes. She adds that though the food is handled a lot by hand, when the vendor fills the puri with potatoes and the sweet and tangy water, they are not aware of how to use gloves. “They don’t know that the gloves are only for handling the food. Instead, they make the pani puri with it and also handle other things, which destroys the purpose of using gloves,” she points out.
Amit Sarkar, who runs an upscale eatery in Kochi, says that when he and his brother, Sourabh got into the business, one of the things they looked into keenly was hygiene because they are aware of how it is lacking in the stalls, and towards that end they are cautious about the oil, dough, water and the ingredients they use as fillings and storage. To up the ante, they have introduced an automatic pani puri machine, which allows the customers to fill their puris and cuts out the chances of contamination from a third person.
“Almost 60% of vendors buy their puri from one supplier and when we bought from them, we found that it was not very clean and it was high in gluten content, so we started making our own,” says Amit, adding jokingly that his teenage niece prefers the roadside pani puris which are handmade by vendors.
Munna Yadav, who started his pani puri outlet over two decades ago, says the food is freshly made and leftovers are thrown away. The puris are fried at about 10 am while the other ingredients are made just before the stall is set up at 3 pm. He sells a plate of six at `20 and gets through 800 puris in a day.
Rani Chacko says that though there are no written guidelines for street food vendors, the department is planning a ‘street food hub’ programme, which is in the initial stage, and seeks to identify street food vendors, audit and designate and identify their areas of working. Awareness programmes will also be conducted for them.

Zomato operating sans license; food safety dept to take action
The department of food safety of Uttarakhand is mulling to take legal action against the online food platform Zomato as it has failed to provide a satisfactory reply on the department’s notice. The department had found that the license on the basis of which the company was operating in Dehradun had no mention of Dehradun. The department is now contemplating on taking action against the company. “The company is operating here without valid licence in the state, something which invites action. The action may be taken soon,” said an officer of the department concerned while insisting on anonymity.
The designated officer, food safety J C Kandwal said that a team of the department had recently conducted a surprise inspection of the New Cant Road office of Zomato. He said that the officials of the company failed to show any valid licence to them. Kandwal added that the central license which the company later had submitted to the department did not have any mention of Dehradun.
It is pertinent to mention here that many commercial platforms are operating in the country which is providing cooked food to the customers. The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) has directed the state governments to keep an eye on the operation and quality control of the online food platforms.
Chemically ripening of fruits unabated
On an average, 5 to 10 tonnes of mangoes arrive at the market per day. In the coming days, the number of trucks is only going to increase, and there is a need to have a proper mechanism for fruit ripening as per rules – Ashok Kumar, president of the fruit association, Kothapet
Kothapet: The king of fruit has been arriving at the Gaddiannaram Fruit Market since January.
The directive of the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) to use ethylene gas for ripening of mangoes is also in place.
However, the traders say that the authorities are yet to establish a mechanism for fruit ripening.
The marketing department is yet to set up 'Ethylene Ripening Chambers.' Ashok Kumar, president of the fruit association at Kothapet, says, "On an average 5 to 10 tonnes of mangoes arrive at the market.
In the coming days, the number of trucks is only going to increase, and there is a need to have a proper mechanism for fruit ripening as per rules."
Bainganpalli, Totapuri and Suvarnarekha are the most common that come to the market.
Currently, the price of the fruit is between Rs 50,000 and Rs 1 lakh per tonne based on the type and quality of the fruit.
Use of carbide as a ripening agent is a punishable offence under the FSSAI Act 2006, as the chemical is carcinogenic, a cancer-causing substance or agent.
Mangoes from districts like Nuziveedu, Krishna, Khammam, Mahboobnagar, Nalagonda, Kurnool, Nandyala, Kadapa, Chittoor, Rajampeta and other places come to the market. Apart from the Telugu states, the mangoes are also imported from the states of Kolar District, Karnataka, Dharmapuri District, Tamil Nadu.
These imported mangoes are usually exported to North India, especially to Delhi and Maharashtra, for the artificial ripening of mangoes.
The process of artificial ripening takes around 4 to 5 days to change the color of the mangoes from raw green to ripened yellow.
The sachets of these chemicals are dropped into the baskets of raw mangoes at the time of exporting them from Hyderabad to other parts of India and during the journey, the mangoes are ripened.
Last year, calcium carbide was used as the chemical to ripen mangoes, which was declared to be harmful.
State Food Laboratory officials, who conducted raids, said they found ethylene powder packets stuffed in the boxes of mangoes for the purpose of ripening them.
When the artificially- ripened mango samples were tested, they found high concentrations of calcium carbide.
Cases were booked where the accused were jailed for about 3 months with the penalty of Rs 10,000.
The president of the fruit association, Ashok Kumar, said, "There are retailers who do not have licenses, yet they come and sell their goods and leave, and the responsible officers are not taking any action."
Food safety gets top priority
MANGALURU: Taking cognisance of the incident at a temple in Chamarajanagar that claimed at least 17 lives, government officials and organisers of the Brahmakalashotsava ceremony of the 1,300-year-old Sri Rajarajeshwari Temple, Polali, have been exercising extra caution, especially during preparation of food.
Thousands of volunteers have been divided into several batches and assigned a cross section of responsibilities to ensure that the ceremony, spanning a little less than two weeks, is all hunky dory.
Dr Deepa Prabhu, taluk health officer, Bantwal, told TOI that a team of six officials has been tasked with the responsibility of ensuring that food and beverages provided to devotees are of superior quality. “To ensure this, the officials personally consume the food at least one hour before it is served to devotees. “Only after we are fully convinced about the quality of food and beverages, do we let them out of the kitchen,” she said, adding the officials check for the quality every single time it is prepared.
Also, samples of food are kept in cold storage for at least 48 hours from the time they are cooked, in case they are to be subjected to tests in case of any eventuality.
“Though we have ensured cleanliness, we have sent samples of water and food to the laboratory in Mysuru for documentation. Reports are awaited,” she said.
Chandrahasa D Shetty, convener, Polali Brahmakalshotsava committee, said only batches of cooks are permitted in the kitchen on a rotational basis and those without any business at the kitchen are denied entry. He said CCTV cameras have been installed at multiples points in the kitchen and store room.
Deepa said all six wells, from which water is drawn for drinking and cooking purposes, are subjected to at least a couple of rounds of cleaning and chlorination.
The Ullal city municipal council has also swung into action in contributing towards hygiene. Unlike the general practice, where kitchen waste used to be dumped in pits created in nearby fields and only disposed after the conclusion of festivities, all wastes are taken away to the dumping yard at Pacchenady every few hours. For this purpose, the Ullal CMC has granted four tempos. Two more tempos are likely to be pressed into action for the remaining days as more batches of devotees are expected.
Special emphasis has also been laid on maintaining cleanliness in all the 80 toilets that have been set up near the temple premises. In addition to chemically treating these toilets, a team of 40 members from Kollegal have been employed to clean them regularly.
It is also pertinent to note that 60 members from Patanjali Yoga Shiskahana Samiti and 200 volunteers from Maroli Suryanarayana Temple have been striving round the clock to keep the rest of the premises in good health.
Indore: Food safety officers raid milk parlours, collect samples
Indore: Keeping in view Holi festival falling next week, the food and drug administration (FDA) department is gearing up to check sale of adulterated food specially milk, milk products and mawa sweets as their consumption increases during festivities. The department on Monday launched a campaign against sweetmeat shops across the city to check milk and milk products. “In first phase of action, we are taking action against milk parlours and seizing samples of milk and milk products,” said chief food safety officer Manish Swami.
He said department has collected samples from eight milk parlours and warned shop keepers to be ready for penal action if they fail to maintain hygiene. “In the second phase of campaign, we will crack down on shops selling mawa sweets, namkeens (salted snacks) and beverages, he added. “Department officers were asked to take action against sellers of milk products, sweets and namkeen before festivities begin in city. Our target is to take 40 samples in a month. But we will target vendors who are selling unhygienic and stale products,” Swami said.
Cross inspection
The food and drug administration department will cross check. The officials from Dhar and Barwani district will come to Indore for inspection while officials from Indore will go to other districts. “It is a new practice by department to create transparency in process and to avoid any unnecessary allegation,” he added.
