Kozhikode
Apart from exposing eateries that supply unhygienic food, the Food Safety squad and the local health department authorities are monitoring the supply of fish brought here from other States to unearth adulterated and rotten fish. The reduced price of such unhygienic stock is reportedly an attraction for wayside eateries and those engaged in the large scale supply of parcel food.
Some of the local fish traders have voiced their support for the checking drive as their business is down because of the entry of low-cost fish stock from other States. In the wake of the intensified inspections by the safety squads, many wholesale suppliers in Kozhikode’s fish markets have started rejecting the stock from other States.
