Balodabazar. Mineral water packaging plants have opened in most cities of the state amidst increasing use of mineral water. Especially in the summer season, its demand increases. During this period, complaints of selling water without production date and expiry date are also coming out. Taking this seriously, on the instructions of Collector Deepak Soni, the Food and Drug Administration team raided the mineral water packaging plants located in Bhatapara and Simga and investigated the production process there.
During the inspection, ‘Zealup’ packaged drinking water and ‘Zeal up Jera Pace’ were taken from the Zaya Agro plant in Simga and samples of carbonated beverages. Food safety officials said that these samples will be sent to the State Food Testing Laboratory and action will be taken as per rules on receiving the report from there.
