Chandigarh, October 16

The Food Safety Department, UT, today launched ‘Repurpose Used Cooking Oil’ (RUCO), an initiative of the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI), on World Food Day.

Polar compounds formed during repeated use of the same cooking oil are associated with several diseases.

The FSSAI has issued directions to the UT to initiate the process of disposal and collection of used cooking oil.

Dr Amandeep Kang, Director, Health and Family Welfare, UT, flagged off the RUCO vehicles to kick start the initiative. More than 50 food business operators of the city along with authorised aggregator and biodiesel manufacturers were also present. — 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).
