Worms in food packets given to anganwadi kids

This time again, one of the Anganwadi centres on Sinhgad Road is making headlines as worms were found in the food packets.

Kids aged from six months to three years are given food packets of moong dal khichdi premix from the government under the mid-day meal scheme. However, the food packets which were distributed in one of the Anganwadi centres on Sinhgad Road were found to be of bad quality. Worms were found in the khichdi mix.

Archana Navgire, a relative of a kid, who found the worms in the food packet, voiced her concern on X (formerly Twitter) and also reached the authorities regarding the matter.

"My nephew is enrolled in an Anganwadi at Sinhgad Road and kids are susceptible and can fall sick after consuming the expired food material.
