Varkey manufacturers in Udhagamandalam, who number more than 90, do not use animal fat in the food product, according to K. Mohammad Farooq, president of Ooty Varkey Manufacturers’ Association. He told reporters in Udhagamandalam on Thursday the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India officials had collected four samples from Ooty in the last six months and had said the product does not contain animal fat. There are 92 bakeries in Udhagamandalam and all these make varkeys.
The manufacturers have applied for Geographical Indication (GI) recognition too. “When we get the recognition, we will start selling varkeys as packed food too and we will display details of ingredients on the packets,” he added.
