Here's some good news for Nepali consumers. The Department of Food Technology and Standard Control has set up an anti-food adulteration hotline. Consumers can dial 262741 if they are concerned about the quality of food supplies they have purchased, and food inspectors will be at their door. In its recently published annual report, the food standard control body says most food supplies in the market are adulterated. As a response, the department promises stern action against suppliers found guilty of adulterating food. The department will also train consumers to test products on their own and provide equipment to interested consumer groups at the ward level.
