After a few hours, the customer lodged a complaint with the shopkeeper about finding a dead rat in a bag of flour. The shopkeeper immediately replaced the bag of flour. Also threw away potentially infected flour. Therefore, the sample cannot be sent to the laboratory. Fact check revealed that no complaint was filed regarding this matter because strict action is not expected.
Of course, there was no complaint, but along with the Food Supply Corporation, Food Safety and Regulation should do sampling of the food items being supplied in the area on a large scale. Besides, raids should also be conducted on the premises of flour industries running within the Himachal borders, so that it can be known whether the flour mills are running as per the norms. One person, who did not wish to be named, said the quality of food in the region is always at stake. A major part of flour consists of bran. He is surprised as to why the samples do not fail.
