Mohali, October 13
About one quintal of cream was destroyed and samples of paneer and ghee were collected for laboratory tests by a team of officials which carried out a check on a manufacturing unit in Jagatpura village here today. The team, comprising SDM Lakhmir Singh, District Health Officer HS Oberoi and Food Security Officer Navneet Kaur Bagga, conducted a surprise check on a paneer and ghee manufacturing unit.
It was found that paneer and ghee were being prepared in unhygienic conditions. As such, the officials destroyed around one quintal of cream on the spot.
Lakhmir Singh said the conditions were so bad that there were also rats and flies on the premises. The unit was said to be run by a resident of Chandigarh.
Workers at the unit told the officials that 10 to 12 qunitals of paneer made there was being supplied daily to Chandigarh, Panchkula and Mohali.
The SDM said samples of milk, paneer and ghee had been collected from the unit. If these failed the laboratory tests, strict action would be initiated against the defaulters.
