Food is the primary essential for proper maintenance of human health. Access to pure,nutritious food, free from any type of adulteration is the genuine expectation of everycitizen. The department of Prevention of Food Adulteration, Delhi has been entrusted the

job to get the Prevention of Food Adulteration Act and the Rules made there under implemented in the Union Territory of Delhi. Although Sections 272 & 273 of IndianPenal Code were already in existence when the PFA Act, 1954 and the relevant rulescame into force, but the same were not considered by the legislature to be sufficient for preventing the adulteration of food. The Prevention of Food Adulteration Act wasenacted in the year 1954 to strengthen the system for preventing adulteration of food.

The Central Government framed Rules known as the "Prevention of Food AdulterationRules, 1955" and these are amended by it from time to time (the last major one beingeffective w.e.f. 19/03/2009). The responsibility of implementation of the Prevention of Food Adulteration Act and the Rules made there under vests in the State Governmentsand the Union Territories. Accordingly Delhi also has created its own organisation for implementation of the Act and the Rules. At present it needs to be strengthened and

restructured in view of upcoming implementation of Food Safety and Standards Act,2006.
