The Tamil Nadu Consumer Protection and Environment Research Centre has made a disturbing revelation about the food industry in Tiruvarur district. According to a statement released by the centre on Sunday, many roadside eateries and hotels in the district are serving poor quality food at abnormally high prices. This is a clear violation of the food safety norms and regulations laid down by the Food Safety and Standards Act. The centre's claim is based on the observation that while the prices of food items have been increased, citing the rise in LPG prices, milk, sugar, and other essential commodity prices, the quality and quantity of food served to consumers have not improved accordingly.
