Indore (Madhya Pradesh): Ahead of Diwali, the food and drug administration department has launched a drive against adulterated food products, especially ‘mawa’ and other milk products and also collected samples of dry fruits.

Food safety officers have collected samples from different shops in the city and collected samples of mawa, sweets, paneer, namkeen, ghee and dry fruits.

“We’re checking sweet shops and dry fruits shops across the city to check the quality of food products. We’re taking samples of products, and also exhorting them to maintain cleanliness and hygiene,” a food safety official said.

The officials collected samples of pistachios from M/s Jhulelal Traders, almonds from Darvesh Traders and pistachios from Vishal Traders.

Mawa samples were taken for testing from all the establishments located at Pipli Bazar, Shrinath Mawa Bhandar, Ramu Mawa Bhandar, Ratanlal & Sons, Om Mawa Bhandar, Aggarwal Mawa Bhandar, Shankarlal, Ramji Maharaj and Bansal Mawa Bhandar.
