ISLAMABAD, (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 2nd Jul, 2024) The Islamabad Food Authority (IFA) on Tuesday raided at vegetable farms in the G-12 area and destroyed mint of hundreds kilograms, irrigated with wastewater on one kanal land.
Talking to APP, Deputy Director Operations (DDO) of IFA, Dr Tahira Saddique said that the IFA accompanied by food safety teams (FSTs) inspected a total of 10 kanal land and found mint irrigated with wastewater on one kanal, which was then destroyed.
Dr. Tahira Siddique stated that these vegetables were meant to sell in the vegetable market.
Using wastewater for irrigation violates food safety rules.
