FSSAI Flags CG Foods Over Bhujia and Namkeen Safety
Food inspectors checked a CG Foods facility in Ajmer.
They said broken noodles from the floor were being used to make bhujia.
The inspectors also said the noodles were not heat-treated before being reused.
They reportedly found some finished products that had expired.
They also alleged that some packages had dates printed earlier than they should have been.
These problems may not always be visible when someone looks at a packet.
The report does not say that people must stop eating all bhujia or namkeen.
Consumers should check the maker, expiry date, packaging, and storage condition before buying.
FSSAI took action against CG Foods following an inspection in Ajmer.
Inspectors allegedly found broken noodles collected from the floor being reprocessed into bhujia.
The alleged reprocessing was conducted without heat treatment, according to FSSAI.
The inspection also found expired finished products and alleged predated packaging.
Consumers were advised to buy from licensed manufacturers and check packaging and expiry dates.
