Port Blair, Jun 4: Andaman and Nicobar Islands has substantially developed a local food stuff market and nowadays there are many local food stuff manufacturing companies and they sell the products in large numbers all over the Union Territory.
But sadly, the Health Department of our islands has failed to check on all these companies to maintain the quality of their food stuffs and to check for adulteration.
Recently it was reported that a child had become sick after consuming Ice Cream of one of the local companies i.e. ‘Mary Ice Cream’ Company. Upon further investigation it was found that the Ice Cream of the Star Ice Cream Company does not even carry Date of Manufacturing and Date of Expiry.
The Health Department should now seriously start examining the quality of the products from local companies so that people feel safe to buy and consume it and the Islanders have a healthy society and life.
