Why is the special Tirupati laddu not so tasty these days? There is no aroma also. The TTD authorities are failing in producing Laddu with right taste and weight these days. Earlier there was scarcity of Laddus, now you can go for extra laddus also.
It has come under scanner as FSSAI (Food Safety and Standards Authority of India) has asked the Commissioner of Food Safety, Andhra Pradesh, to investigate into certification and alleged violation of food safety norms by TTD in making of laddus .
At a time when laddus as prasadam are synonym to Tirupati and lord Balaji, for the unique taste for having been made of pure ghee, and known worldwide, the petition has triggered the debate.
For any food, the food safety act specifies due certification by a concerned authority or a certified lab. The same has to be displayed at Tirupati and the licence and certification renewed every year has to be put on display. But nothing couldnt be found in TTD potu it is reported.
"It is noticed that the place of manufacture of laddu is not upto the standards prescribed under the Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006.
"On every sale, they have to give bill. It should have quantity, quality, ingredients, date of manufacture and date of expiry. However, these bills have nothing of it. The food safety act gives exemption for push carts and petty shops temporary stall holder or tiny food business operator. But Tirupati is not so.
