VARANASI: The court of the
adjudicating officer ordered to realize heavy amount as penalty from
the manufacturers and shop owners under Food Safety and Standards
Act-2006.
Adjudicating officer MP Singh, who is also ADM city, recently decided four cases that were filed by the food safety officer against the manufacturers and sellers of food articles in 2011. On October 19, 2011, the staff of food safety and drug administration (FSDA) office had collected samples of `Butter Vimal Lite premium table margarine', a product of a Gujarat based company, from its local depot holder Mahendra Pal's place in Sundarpur, under Lanka police area.
The FSDA office forwarded the samples to government food analyst (GFA).
In GFA's investigation report, it was mentioned that manufacturer has declared on the sample as Butter Vimal Lite, zero cholesterol on the label and it contains flavour of butter also which is a violation of rule 2.2.2(1) of the Act, hence the sample is `misbranded'. After the investigation and hearing, the court ordered to fix a penalty of Rs one lakh on the manufacturing company as well as local deport holder. The order stated that if the penalty amount is not deposited in government exchequer within a month, the penalty would be realised on the line of land revenue.
At Sardar Sweet Shop, the FSDA staff had collected samples of `Besan laddu' on September 27, 2011. The sample was forwarded to GSA. During laboratory test, it was found as substandard.
On the basis of the test report, the court of adjudicating officer ordered to realize a penalty of Rs 25,000 from the owner of the shop.
Similar order was issued against Jyka restaurant owner, where samples of paneer (cheese) were collected on September 21, 2011. It was also found substandard in the laboratory report.
The court fixed a penalty of Rs 10,000 against Anand Food Products in Chandpur area as the samples of biscuit packets collected by FSDA from its manufacturing unit on September 24, 2011 did not contain the batch number.
