In Ahmedabad, the proportion of food samples failing to meet standard safety criteria has climbed by almost 150% this year, according to recent data.
Ahmedabad authorities report a sharp increase in food samples that do not meet safety standards, with the figure rising by nearly 150% compared to the previous year.
The rise reflects a higher number of samples flagged for contamination or improper handling, which could pose health risks to consumers.
The Gujarat Food Safety Department has announced plans to intensify inspections and enforce stricter compliance among local vendors.
Experts say the spike underscores the need for better monitoring and public awareness about food hygiene.
