Food Safety Officials Seize 110 Kg Sev, 40 Litres of Cooking Oil From Karmanghat Unit

Commissionerate of food safety officials seized 110 kg of sev and 40 litres of cooking oil from a food manufacturing unit in Karmanghat after detecting multiple violations of food safety norms during an inspection.

The officials inspected Ashoksingh Foods in Karmanghat and found that the establishment was manufacturing sev while operating with a retailer registration obtained under the Tatkal registration system. The unit had declared itself as a retailer instead of a manufacturer, violating licensing norms.

Officials also observed several food safety and hygiene violations, including the suspected use of synthetic food colours, repeated use of cooking oil, unsafe food handling practices and poor sanitation conditions.

The food safety department, which collected samples of the cooking oil and sev for laboratory analysis, said further action will be initiated based on the test results.
