Amritsar, June 6

Ridhi Khanna, a city-based dietician, has launched a campaign on creating awareness on food safety during the Covid-19 pandemic to mark World Food Safety Day (June 7). To create awareness regarding the importance of safe food for consumption, she will be interacting with farmers, home chefs, suppliers and all stakeholders that are responsible for food consumption from farm to table.

“The raw food we eat is being disinfected through various methods. But what’s important is how to disinfect it in a correct way. The proper way to disinfect it without destroying its nutritional value is to wash it with baking soda and water. Those food products which cannot be washed or soaked in water should be kept in open for seven to eight hours,” she said. — TNS

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
