Meerut/Muzaffarnagar: To keep a tab on the quality of food items being sold during the ongoing festive season, Food Safety and Drugs Administration (FSDA) officials conducted several raids and seized 105 quintal of “misbranded” gram flour in Muzaffarnagar.
They also took four samples of suspected adulterated oil and other items in Meerut also.
“Due to ongoing Navratras and the upcoming festival of Diwali, we conducted a surprise raid at some food stores in Muzaffarnagar and found some items which seemed adulterated,” said Sarvesh Mishra, chief food safety officer.
The flour-- which was neatly packed in 200packs-- have been sent for testing along with empty brand packets in which the flour was being filled, said Vinit Kumar, in-charge of food department in Muzaffarnagar.
