PONDA: In a raid on a food manufacturing unit at Marcaim Industrial Estate on Friday, food safety officers attached to the food and drug administration thority (FDA) destroyed bottled edible sauce worth 2,30,940.
The officers' team comprising senior food safety officer Rajiv Korde, food safety officers Flavia DeSouza, Rajaram Patil and staff confiscated 3, 820 bottles of edible sauces under brand names of Milan, Orient and Priem brands. The officers said the sauces were misbranded, sub-standard and unsafe for consumption.
Korde said that during an earlier raid of Chinese food stalls at Old Goa a few days ago, they had found the sauce bottles of the Marcaim-based food company.
"Based on the address printed on the labels of the seized bottles during the raid, we reached the factory and destroyed the stock. We also found some other sub-standard items, but the packaging had no address. But we will trace them and conduct more raids," Korde told TOI.
