Minister Patali Champika Ranawaka yesterday said his ministry and the All Ceylon Buddhist Congress are on the process of introducing a new food quality certificate for non-alcoholic foods and beverages in Sri Lanka.

“We are discussing this with the Sri Lanka Standards (SLS) institution to introduce the quality certificate. And the certification system won’t be a controversial since we can find non-vegetarian and non-alcoholic consumers in all communities in the country,” he said.
