Eat less
Minister gives solution to avoid food adulteration
Amid widespread adulteration of food, Commerce Minister Faruk Khan has come up with a solution: “Eat less”.
“Eat less, things will be okay,” he said admitting the government's helplessness in dealing with the problem.
The minister was speaking as chief guest at a discussion titled “Adulteration of Food: Things We Need to Do” at the Jatiya Press Club in the capital.
Faruk said food adulteration will continue as long as traders keep trampling their obligations to society. He urged all to come forward to put an end to this ill practice.
FBCCI President AK Azad said the market committees in the capital cannot do much to contain food adulteration.
They need to be well equipped so that they can go for testing whenever required, he added.
Voluntary Consumers Training and Awareness Society arranged the discussion with its President Mohammad Ali Jinnah in the chair.
Prof ABM Faruk, dean of the pharmacy faculty at Dhaka University, Prof SM Imamul Haque, chairman of BCSIR, Abul Hossain Miah, director general of National Consumers Right Protection Directorate and Kazi Faruk, CAB president, also spoke on the occasion.
