Food items are becoming unsafe starting from production, preservation to processing, says Food Minister Sadhan Chandra Majumder.
He made the remarks during an event at Kakrail Engineers Institution in Dhaka on Sunday (Feb 2).
He says that while there is no food crisis, the government is yet to ensure safe food for the people.
He added that the Bangladesh Food Safety Authority (BFSA) regularly carries out mobile court raids and was arranging awareness programs.
The minister said that the government has nearly curbed formalin use in the country and pledged to make food safer.
