Special teams formed

Food safety officials have formed special teams to monitor the alleged sales of “plastic rice” in the district.

The teams have inspected 78 establishments, including rice mandi, retail outlets, department stores, and godowns. Two samples lifted from shops tested in laboratory at Guindy showed that they were edible rice.

Those who want to make complaints to the Food Safety Department can use the watsapp number 94440 42322, or 04343-230102.
