After Diwali, Jammu Has a Food Safety Question

Jammu. Food safety teams carried out 276 inspections and collected 132 samples for testing across Jammu and Kashmir during a two-day drive before Diwali, according to figures reported from the J&K Food and Drugs Administration. The administration also reported destroying about 800 kg of sweets in Jammu and Kathua and suspending two food licences during the drive.

The figures describe different actions. The 132 samples were collected across the Union Territory for analysis. The sweets destroyed were reported in two districts. The published accounts of the drive did not include the laboratory findings for the samples.

What shoppers need to know

The next useful update would tell people when the test results are expected, how many samples failed once testing is complete, and what action followed. A district-wise summary would help readers understand whether a problem was confined to one outlet or found across several. It would also give traders who kept their kitchens and counters in order a fairer account of what inspectors actually found.

The question for Jammu residents is practical. If you have raised a food safety concern, which office or channel did you use, and did anyone get back to you? Tell TCN what happened and which locality you were in. Please keep private contact details and unverified accusations out of public replies.
