BIS steps up food audits ahead of festival season
In short
BIS is increasing food audits before the busy festival season. The checks are meant to look for adulteration in sweets, dairy products, edible oils, spices and other foods.
This matters because demand usually rises during festivals, and that can lead to lower-quality products reaching buyers. The source does not say where the audits will happen or how many inspections are planned.
