The Health Department on Thursday held a meet with sweet shop owners and warned them of stern action if found selling adulterated items.

Dr Rajinder Pal Singh, Assistant Commissioner (Food), warned against the use of sub-standard material for preparation of sweets and suggested not to use colours while preparing sweets, especially during the festive season.

He said in case any body was found violating the norms, the license of the shop would be suspended and penalty would also be imposed on the owner. He also asked shopkeepers to follow the health guidelines related to the Covid-19 in their shops.
