PUNE: The Food and Drug Administration
(FDA) officials seized chilli and coriander powder worth Rs 1.31 lakh
from a condiment supplying and packaging unit in Nana Peth on Wednesday.
The food safety officials raided the shop and closed the unit after receiving a complaint from Javed Ismail Khan of Shiv Sena, said Shashikant Kekare, joint commissioner (food), FDA, Pune.
"The owner of the manufacturing unit did not have an FDA licence. Our officials also found the supplying and packaging unit in unhygienic condition. We have taken samples and sent them for tests to rule out adulteration," said Kekare.
The officials seized a stock of chilli and coriander powder, loose as well as packaged, from the unit which is located near Bharat cinema hall in Nana Peth. "Total 1,468 kg loose chilli powder and 650 kg of packaged chilli powder have been seized. Besides, 112 kg coriander powder was also taken for testing," Kekare said.
"Javed Ismail Khan of Shiv Sena had filed the complaint on Wednesday, following which our officials raided the unit," Kekare said.
