THANE: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) seized 403 liters of oil that was being stored in 27 reused tins at shop in Wagle Estate on Saturday. The seized oil was worth Rs 22,000.The arrests were made during a raid that was being carried out by the FDA as many shopkeepers tend to sell adulterated oil during festive time.
According to a directive by the government and high court, shopkeepers are not allowed to use reused oil tins. The raid was conducted by food safety officer A S Dhule under the guidance of assistant commissioner of food K N Dabhade. The cops had received a tip-off that the store, Shah Manilal Narshi and Sons, were flouting the norms. The team then raided the place and seized the oil as it may not be fit for human consumption.
A case has been registered but no arrests have been made yet.
