CELEBRITY Chef Ranveer
Brar, who is receiving a lot
of good response to his
quiz show Yess Chef, has shared
advice to ensure food safety in
homes.
The celebrity chef and actor
spoke with IANS in the Andheri
West area of Mumbai during the
promotions of his new streaming show Yes Chef, and said that
the best way to get quality products on kitchen platforms or dining tables is to shop from local
markets.
He told IANS, “I believe that
first of all, do your own shopping
from local markets. That is very
important if we talk about freshness. All of us have stopped going
to the vegetable market. The
10-minute apps have
changed the culture of
shopping from vegetable markets. When
you see fresh vegetables on the whole
cart, you understand
the value of fresh food. Even if
you get a small packet of cabbage,
you don’t enjoy it”.
He further mentioned, “I think
we should continue. Last minute
apps are fine in an emergency,
but it is very important to go to
the market and buy fresh vegetables.
Secondly, if we talk about
freshness, I feel that if we make
as much food as we want, then
there will be less things in the
refrigerator. And if there are less
things in the refrigerator, then
there will be less tension in the
mind that we have to use leftover food. So, the refrigerator is
equivalent to the tension in the
mind”.
Food safety has become a huge
concern of late, as it put the
nation’s health at severe risk.
Recently, there have been several crackdowns across the state of
Maharashtra owing to food
safety.
The IAS officer, Tukaram
Mundhe, who currently serves
as the Commissioner of the Food
and Drug Administration (FDA)
for Maharashtra, has emerged as
the face of the state’s intensified
food-safety crackdown. Since
taking charge in May 2026,
Mundhe has overseen statewide
inspections targeting food adulteration, unhygienic establishments, illegal products and violations across the supply chain.
The campaign has particularly
focused on milk adulteration,
with synthetic milk units being
uncovered and tighter scrutiny
ordered across dairies, distributors and retailers.
