Karnataka Issues Notices to Sweet Units for Food Safety Violations
Karnataka's Food Safety Division conducted a special inspection of sweet manufacturing and sales units across the state, collecting over 125 food samples for laboratory analysis. Inspections revealed unhygienic conditions, lack of medical certificates for food handlers, and non-compliance with FSSAI licensing. Notices were issued to 10 to 15 units, with some operators fined. The department plans to continue inspections and enforce legal action under the Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006, to ensure compliance ahead of the festival season.
