FDA raids

Before any festive season it has become common to see the Food and Drugs Administration (FDA) officials carry out raids on shops and confiscating and destroying unlabelled food stuff. Such raids have reportedly been carried out on shops in Cansaulim and Vasco recently and food-stuff worth Rs. 28,000 was confiscated which included mainly farsan, sweets, corn flakes, etc.

 It must be said that the same food articles are also sold loose and are stored in jars while sweets are displayed in trays. They have no labels depicting the date of manufacture or the MRP. Why are only those food articles which are packed in plastic packets and are unlabeled confiscated and not those which are sold loose. After all there is no way for the consumer can get to know the date of its manufacture.
