450kg paneer seized in raid in Chandigarh's Sector 26
1 2 Chandigarh: In a major crackdown on unauthorised food businesses, the food safety administration of the Chandigarh health department conducted a surprise raid early Wednesday morning in Bapudham Colony, Sector-26, seizing approximately 450 kg of paneer and other dairy products from a shop and a vehicle. The raid began around 7 am at house no. 714/2, where food safety officers discovered a large quantity of paneer, some stored inside the shop and a significant portion in a pickup vehicle parked outside. In addition to paneer, samples of desi ghee and dahi were also seized. All seized samples will be sent to a food analyst laboratory authorised by the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI). "Suitable action shall be initiated against the operator if it is found non-conforming to the standards," said an official. Also, two challans were issued under Section 63 of the Food Safety & Standards Act, 2006, one to the shopkeeper and another to the vehicle operator, for selling food items for public consumption without a valid FSSAI licence. Director health services, UT Chandigarh, has urged residents to remain vigilant while purchasing food items and to buy only from licenced vendors who maintain hygiene and use quality ingredients. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch CFD với công nghệ và tốc độ tốt hơn IC Markets Đăng ký Undo The department also encouraged the public to report any suspicious food practices to the department of food safety & standards, located at Government Multi-Specialty Hospital, Sector 16. Sukhwinder Singh, designated officer-cum-licensing authority for food safety, cautioned consumers against being misled by unusually low prices. "The cost of paneer cannot be as low as Rs 250 per kg, as it takes about 3 litres of milk with sufficient fat content to produce 1 kg of paneer. The processing cost alone would exceed Rs 300," he explained. Home Test for Fake vs Real Paneer To check the purity of paneer at home boil a small piece of paneer in a pan. Add a few drops of iodine tincture. If the paneer turns blue, it may be artificial or adulterated. If it retains its original colour, it is likely pure. Also, one can let the boiled paneer cool in water. Add some toor dal to the water and let it rest for 10 minutes. If the water turns light red, the paneer may be contaminated. If the colour doesn't change, go ahead and enjoy your paneer.
