ISLAMABAD: The Islamabad Food Authority (IFA) has intensified its campaign against unsafe food, disposing of 15,000 liters of adulterated milk in the Federal Capital. Talking to media, Deputy Director Operations (DDO) of IFA said that the IFA, along with its food safety teams (FSTs), inspected a total of 25,000 liters of milk. During the inspection, the teams identified 15,000 liters as unhygienic and immediately disposed of it. Additionally, the IFA took strict action against violators. Three shops were sealed, and heavy fines were imposed for non-compliance with food safety standards. In another operation, the IFA conducted raids in the G-11, F-11, and I-10 areas of Islamabad. During these inspections, the FSTs examined over 60 food outlets. They discovered and discarded more than 80 kilograms of expired food items, ensuring that these products did not reach consumers. Dr. Tahira reiterated the authority’s commitment to public health. She warned that there would be no leniency towards those compromising food safety, and strict measures would continue to be enforced against violators. DNA
