In a statement released Monday, Chandigarh administration’s food safety and standards department appealed to residents to ensure they purchase food items from licensed and hygienic stores.
The department released the statement after samples of some food items it tested failed to meet quality standards.
During 2021-22, the food safety department took samples of various food products from the market. Five of 13 cottage cheese (paneer) samples, four mustard oil samples, three fresh vegetable samples, and two milk samples failed.
The department has lodged complaints and the matter has been taken up by the concerned authorities.
The administration said that consumers must be cautious and ensure that they purchase food items from the licensed shops that maintain hygiene and use quality products. It also requested people to report stores that aren’t following proper hygiene or if they notice any other aberrations. People can report such stores to the department or call either 102 or 0172-2752128.
