On this occasion, Food Safety Officer Vivek Kumar said that under this campaign, continuous inspections of sweet shops, bakeries, restaurants, wholesale depots and markets are being conducted, with special attention paid to the quality and cleanliness of food items to prevent the sale of adulterated and unsafe ingredients.

He appealed to all consumers to pay special attention to cleanliness, expiry dates and the FSSAI license number mentioned on packaging when buying food items. He urged that if adulterated or suspicious ingredients are being sold anywhere, such information should be reported immediately to the Food Safety Department.
