The Food and Drugs Administration (FDA), Nagpur, has started random checks under the ‘Eat right campaign’, targeting markets, temples, street food vendors, hotels, and restaurants. The FDA is motivating them to register for Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) certification, meant to ensure compliance with the hygiene criteria. FDA is also planning visits to schools and college campuses to check food safety standards at canteens after they reopen on December 1.
As part of the drive, FDA collected 57 samples from the Gokulpeth market last week. Samples will also be collected from Cotton Market and Kalamna Market. The sampling was done under one of the six components, ‘Clean fruit and vegetable market’, of the ‘Eat right campaign’. You can read the complete news here.
