Summer Heat Sparks Juice Shop Safety Crackdown

As temperatures climb this summer, a critical food safety initiative has been launched by the Food Safety wing. This statewide drive is focusing on juice shops and the sale of bottled drinking water, areas experiencing a surge in demand. The health department emphasizes that vendors must guarantee the safety of both the water and the ice incorporated into their products.

Officials have expressed significant apprehension regarding the quality of ice supplied to juice parlors and street vendors. Investigations into numerous food poisoning incidents reported during this warm season have frequently pointed to ice manufactured from contaminated water sources as the primary culprit.
