Food safety and drug administration (FSDA) officials on Monday raided an illegal plant producing health supplements and selling it after pasting labels of foreign brands.
Food safety officer Suresh K Mishra said FSDA officials got the tip-off that Ashraf Ahmad of Meerut was running the illegal unit in an under-construction building in Bazarkhala. "During the raid, we found plastic jars containing supplements and sacks full of gluten and cereals, besides drugs," he said.
Mishra said the supplement was being supplied to various gyms in the city with labels disguising as a product made in the USA and approved by the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI).
He said the plant neither had FSSAI registration number nor an import licence. Three samples were sent to laboratory for tests.
