SATPUR: A delegation of Maharashtra Chamber of Commerce, Industry & Agriculture (MACCIA), met with former Union Agriculture Minister Sharad Pawar on Saturday and discussed the issues related with regulations imposed by Food & Drugs Administration (FDA) on oil merchants in the district.
The delegates brought it to the notice of Pawar that FDA is compelling the oil merchants to install oil testing laboratories at their shops under Food Safety & Standards Act 2006. The administration has also banned sale of loose oil and directed the merchants to recycle the tin-boxes for repacking.
FDA has also slapped notices in this regard on some of the oil merchants in the district, they added. MACCIA vice-president Santosh Mandlecha put the details regarding problems generated due to FDA regulations for merchants.
In his response, Pawar assured that he would look into this matter, discuss the issue with concerned officials and try to resolve it at the earliest. MACCIA members Raju Rathi, Bhavesh Manek, Mahendra Chhoriya, Manoj Lodha, Shivdas Daga, Chandrakant Dixit and other dignitaries were present at the time.
