Food terrorism
People do not know where to find safe and hygienic foods and to whom they should lodge complaints against the sellers of adulterated foods.
In fact, we are hostages to a section of dishonest food traders. Substandard foods that are produced in an unhygienic environment are served in reputed hotels, restaurants bakeries, icecream parlors fast food & sweetmeat shops etc.
For all latest news, follow The Daily Star's Google News channel. Shops sell adulterated & low quality foods. Edible oil, biscuits, spices, soft drinks, fruit juice, icecream and bottled water have in most cases no BSTI certification. In some cases, the products have no manufacturing or expiry date. We cannot identify whether the foods are pure or not. Hence people should prefer starving (!) to consuming poisonous foods.
These dishonest food sellers, taking advantage of people's vulnerability, force them to ingest poison and push them towards certain death. They are real enemies of the people and the nation. Hence we should stand united and build resistance against these perpetrators of heinous crimes.
I hope that the government would continue the drive against adulterated food. Let's raise the slogan We want pure, quality foods.
