Subject: Special festive drive to ensure food safety, quality and prevention of adulteration during the month of September-October, 2025-reg.
Madam/ Sir,
With the onset of the festive season, the demand for sweets, savouries, and milk & milk products (such as ghee, khoa, paneer, etc.) witnesses a significant surge across the country. This seasonal rise often creates economic incentives for adulteration- posing serious risks to public health and undermining consumer confidence.

In order to address this concern and to safeguard public health, it is hereby requested to conduct special surveillance and/or enforcement drives during the festive period. These drives may be focused particularly on identified hot spots and sensitive locations under your jurisdiction. Further, it must also be ensured that, Food Safety on Wheels (FSWs), wherever available, may be strategically deployed in prominent market places and/or based on specific intelligence inputs to facilitate on-the-spot testing, strengthen vigilance, create awareness and to boost consumer trust by assuring them of safe and quality food products during the festive season.
-
Additionally, the relevant data of inspection, sampling and their outcome mandatorily to be updated/recorded on FoSCoS / FoSCoRIS latest by 15th November, 2025.
This matter may be treated as MOST IMPORTANT.
