A food quality testing centre will come up in Visakhapatnam soon.
According to State Medical and Health Minister Satyakumar Yadav, such centres will also be set up in Guntur, Tirupati and Kurnool. The labs will be established at an estimated cost of Rs. 100 crore.
It may be mentioned here that food safety teams conducted a series of raids on hotels and restaurants in Visakhapatnam recently and found the storing of food in fridges and the use of colours while preparing food. Moreover, kitchens were found to be unhygienic.
