Fines were also imposed on 21 food businesses for poor arrangements, said a spokesman of the Authority. The food safety team inspected suppliers at Tollinton Market early in the morning and recovered the diseased poultry during the operation.

He further stated that inspections of food businesses across Punjab were being carried out in accordance with the Chief Minister’s vision to ensure the availability of safe and quality food for the public.
