Navi Mumbai: Ahead of Diwali, a joint raid was conducted by PCMC health department and FDA that sealed a sweet manufacturing unit at Kamothe node and seized around 66kg of sweets (Barfi and Khawa) worth Rs 15,500 for not complying to food safety and standard rules as the manufacturing premises was found to be extremely unhygienic and unhealthy. FDA officials will soon revoke the licence of the unit. The raid was carried out on Monday.
Acting on a tip, the PCMC health department reached the spot and summoned FDA officials for further proceeding which took hours to seize the products and seal the unit. "We found the unit in a shoddy condition. We took samples of the sweets to be sent to laboratory for a test," said Balaji Shinde, food safety inspector.
The FDA officials slapped a stop-activity notice on the unit called Shreeji Sweets and Nilkanth Bhatti. "We received a few complaints from the locals," said a PCMC official.
