Mangaluru: DK DC Dr K G Jagadeesh directed officials to carry out inspections at food processing and water units to ensure the quality of food, as a part of the effective implementation of Food Safety and Standards Act.

As per the Act, water units have to be ISI-certified. No licence could be issued to the units that do not meet ISI standards. Units operating without licence should be sealed. A circular will be issued to all panchayats and urban local bodies, DC said.

"It is also found that the food sold in street stalls and fast-food centres gets adulterated with non-permitted chemicals. The items sold in bakeries also carry non-permitted colours which adversely affect the health. Awareness should be created among the public,"DK DC Dr Jagadeesha said, and warned, that Stern action will also be initiated against vendors who use chemicals to ripen and colour fruits.
