A team of Food Administration, Kapurthala, headed by Dr Harjot Pal Singh, Assistant Commissioner, Food; along with Satnam Singh, Food Safety Officer; took nine samples of milk products from different areas of Phagwara and Kapurthala today.

Samples of sweets were collected from reputed sweet shops at Central Town, and Hargobind Nagar, Phagwara. The team collected four samples of sweetmeat items and milk products. A sample of ‘Patesi’ was also taken from a vehicle carrying sweets.

Civil Surgeon, Kapurthala, Dr Balwant Singh said the checking was started at 5.30 am at Dhilwan and a check post was set up for the inspection of vehicles and long route buses were also checked.

“Two samples of milk, one sample of skimmed milk powder and refined oil of a non-reputed brand were seized from the vehicles during the checking,” he added.

The Civil Surgeon warned the sweet shop owners to prepare and sale paneer, khoya etc. on their premises, if low quality milk and milk products were found from any sweet shop/dairy, legal action will be initiated.

Owners of sweet shops were directed not to store their sweetmeat items and khoya etc. at cold stores. However, they can store these products under hygienic and temperature-controlled conditions on their own premises.

Sweet shop owners were told to add only permitted colours.

A total of 9 samples were collected today. The samples have been dispatched to the State Food Laboratory, Kharar. A legal action will be initiated against the offenders as per the report of State Food Lab.

This move by the Food department against the food business operators, engaged in the unscrupulous business of adulterated and spurious food stuffs will continue in future also.
