The Court of an additional district magistrate (ADM) levied a fine of Rs 9.50 lakh on a outlet of Domino’s in Shahjahanpur and its supplier in Pune after a sample of cheese used in a pizza failed to pass a lab test. The milk fat content in the ‘diced super stretch Mozarella cheese’ was found to be below the prescribed minimum limit of 35 per cent. So the court of ADM imposed a fine.
A fine of Rs 4 lakhs has been imposed on the Shahjahanpur district manager of Jubilant Food Work, Rs 5 Lakh on Schreiber Dynamics Dairies, the supplier, and Rs 50,000 on the seller.
On July 4, 2015 the sample of cheese was taken by food security officer (FSO) Yugul Kishore and sent for lab test at government regional public analysis laboratory in Varanasi. UC Gangwar the food analyst completed the study of the sample and found insufficient fat percentage. The lab test was completed between July 22 and 28, 2015. The report was sent to FSO on August 5, 2015.
Upon the receiving the report, notices were issued to Jubilant Food, Schreiber Dynamics Dairies and the seller Suresh Upadhyaya in the court of ADM.
The trial lasted nearly two years, court imposed fine in this case. The defendant had filled a counter case in this matter, that the cheese was not kept under prescribed conditions due to which the sample couldn’t pass the lab test.
However the spokesperson of Jubilant food said, “Jubilant Food Works has been informed about the court's ruling. However, we would like to state that the test conducted by us for the same batch of cheese at an NABL-certified lab confirms that the fat content in the cheese is as per the limits prescribed by the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India."
