Rajasthan Seizes 43,000 Litres of Adulterated Ghee
In Rajasthan, India, the Food Safety Department found that some ghee (a type of clarified butter) was not safe to eat.
They took action and seized over 43,000 litres of ghee from two companies, Bhog Vinayak and Shri Shyam Milk Food Product.
The ghee was from three different brands: Bhog Vinayak, Haryana Cream, and Naksh Dairy.
The companies were also breaking the rules by not operating from the address listed on their license.
The government is now testing the ghee and might cancel the companies' licenses if they find more problems.
This action is part of a bigger effort to keep food safe in Rajasthan.
Rajasthan Food Safety Department seized over 43,000 litres of adulterated ghee under the 'Pure Food - War on Adulteration' initiative.
The seized ghee includes 9,065 litres of Bhog Vinayak brand, 17,741 litres of Haryana Cream brand, and 16,617 litres of Naksh Dairy brand.
The firms, M/s Giridhar Milk Food Product and Shri Shyam Milk Food Product, were operating from an undisclosed location, violating the Food Safety and Standards Act.
Samples of Bhog Vinayak brand ghee were declared unsafe by the Jaipur Central Laboratory, leading to the seizure.
Further action, including potential license cancellation, will be taken based on laboratory test reports.
