PANJIM: The Food and Drugs Administration is on its toes trying to maintain hygiene in foodstuff sold in the State. Following on its strict stand against branded noodles, FDA has now issued notices to 30 makers of midday meals across the State for improvement in their general sanitation and hygienic condition.

FDA started a series of inspections and visits from June 5 and so far 30 midday meal premises have been inspected and all have been issued notices to improve their hygienic condition. The premises have to reply within seven days stating the action plan to improve the conditions. 
Meanwhile, FDA’s Food Safety Officer has drawn an additional four samples of noodles and one of wafer crisp chocolate product for sampling.
