The Food Safety team caught a vehicle carrying about 8 quintals (800 kg) of unhygienic and unlicensed paneer in Agra.
Milk and paneer are two of India's most widely consumed dairy products. While both foods are known for their health benefits, certain people involved in the production, transport and sale of these products resort to illegal adulteration, which may help them save costs but is detrimental to the health and well-being of the consumers. The Food Safety team has busted large quantities of fake paneer and adulterated milk in multiple food safety raids across Uttar Pradesh and Jharkhand. These unhygienic food products were ceased and destroyed to prevent any consumption.
On July 22, the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) posted an Instagram video showing large quantities of fake paneer being seized and disposed of in Agra. The caption read, "Agra Food Safety and Drug Administration (FSDA) took action on illegal paneer sales! Authorities caught a vehicle carrying about 8 quintals (800 kg) of paneer under suspicious circumstances. The driver admitted that the paneer was brought from a rejected unit. Paneer was found impure and unsafe for consumption. Legal action is being taken."
