Nagpur: Plastic and rubber toys distributed as free gifts in packets of chips, cakes, chocolates and biscuits can bring serious health hazards for kids. A recent incidence in Wardha in which a kid fell ill after consuming a plastic toy received as a free gift in pack of fryums made the Food and Drugs Administration (FDA) to take action against the manufacturer based in Nagpur.
Following the latest directives issued by the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI), Nagpur FDA has ordered city-based Ms Sunder Food products Pvt Ltd to recall its product ‘Rock and Roll — Taggy corn rings’ from market and stop production until next order.
Joint Commissioner (Food) Shashikant Kekre informed that distribution of promotional toys in packed food items is banned now. “Wardha FDA received a complaint that a kid suffered from health problems after consuming a plastic toy distributed inside a pack. Food safety officer from Wardha Raviraj Dhabarde investigated the matter and later reported it to Nagpur FDA as the manufacturer was from Nagpur,” he said.
According to Dhabarde, the product contained plastic toy which resembled with food item and as a result the child consumed the toy and it became hazardous to his life.
In Nagpur, food safety officer Anand Mahajan visited the company M/s Sunder food products. Here, the FDA team was told that entire stock of the said food item has been dispatched to markets.
“We immediately ordered them to recall the stock from market and stop its production. A copy of FSSAI’s recent notification was also handed over to the owners,” Kekre added.
TOI tried to contact the manufacturers in Nagpur but they were not reachable.
