Hansi, October 19 (Daily Kiran) : As Diwali approaches, the Food Safety Department of Haryana has ramped up its efforts to ensure food quality in Hansi. The department’s team conducted inspections at three major shops in the city, collecting samples of sweets and milk for testing.

Among the establishments inspected was the renowned Lala Dulichand shop, which has been a staple for 150 years. Samples were also taken from Bikaner Mishthan Bhandar, covering three different types of sweets. Additionally, the team visited a local milk vendor to gather milk samples.

The sudden inspections caused a stir among local traders. The Food Safety officials not only assessed the quality of the food items but also scrutinized the necessary documentation. Satish Kumar, a Food and Safety Officer, emphasized that providing pure and quality food during festivals is a top priority for the department. Continuous inspections are being carried out across the city to uphold this standard.

Kumar stated that all collected samples have been sent to the laboratory for analysis, with results expected in about 14 days. Should any samples fail to meet standards, strict action will be taken against the respective vendors.

He further clarified that no one will be spared if adulteration or irregularities are found in food items. The department may also take action if there are deficiencies in the required documentation.

Kumar noted that inspections and raids will continue in various parts of the city leading up to Diwali. The primary objective is to curb the sale of adulterated and substandard food products, ensuring the health and safety of the public during the festive season.
