The Food Safety wing has issued orders banning a batch of Pepsi soft drinks, following a consumer complaint about fungus growth inside one of the bottles she had purchased.
The Assistant Commissioner of Food Safety, D. Sivakumar, said that the particular bottle of Pepsi had been purchased by the consumer from one of the Army Canteens in the city and that the bottle clearly seemed to have a layer of fat-like thick substance floating on the liquid surface, which on lab tests was found to be fungus growth.
“We have issued orders banning the sale of this particular batch of the soft drink – BN 5414BO7A.S – the manufacturing date being Jan 7, 2016. More field level checks are needed.
