The drive would continue even after the festive season, he said and urged all to procure food items after thorough checking and approach the department concerned if there are any doubts.
The Designated Officer also sought cooperation from all to protect public health.
A show cause notice has also been served to food business operators who defied the mandated norms, he added.
Additional Food Safety Commissioner Dr K Rajo said that the drive was carried out as majority of the people are unaware of the food safety standard.
Saying that cancer-causing foods and many others without expiry and manufacturing dates were seized from Thangal Keithel, Dr Rajo stated that legal actions will be initiated against the defaulters.
He also urged all to be careful while purchasing food.
