Two unlicensed manufactures of ingredients of fast foods viz.
chowmein, pickles, sauces and similar things of the genre were caught in
a raid conducted in two different areas- Kokar and Chutia - in the
state capital.
The raid team headed by Ranchi Sadar SDO Ameet Kumar comprising two food investigators, among others, raided the areas on Friday afternoon.
In Aadarsh Nagar locality in Kokar the team recovered huge amount of fast food materials, 86 packs of chilly sauces, 24 cartoons of chaumin and 100 litres of acetic acid from an unlicensed manufacturer. Huge number of empty cartoons ready to accommodate manufactured fast food ingredients was also recovered.
Besides, machines to manufacture chaumin noodles, bottles filled with sauce, colouring chemicals and huge number of empty bottles were also recovered. The bottles were not labelled with the date for manufacturing.
Near Lotta factory area pickles being manufactured with the label of Krishna Mixed Pickles and chilli sauces being manufactured with the label of Ambe Chilly were also recovered. The two manufactures had not taken license for the manufacturing.
Two chaumin machines, two sauce machines, one vegetable cutter were also recovered. In the machine for preparing the sauces potatoes and pumpkins were found. Two commercial cylinders and one common cylinder were also recovered. All these food materials have been seized and locked. The sample of food materials have been sent to the Food and Drug Laboratory for verifying their veracity.
“The reports would come within two weeks. If the samples don’t qualify the usual norm of the Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006 those involved will be punished under the existing laws,” said SDO Ameet Kumar.
The SDO further suggested that the no manufactures operating without proper licenses would be spared. He also urged the common public to avoid consuming fast foods from unlicensed vendors.
