Acting on a tip off that owner Raju Shivaji Bhunje was using green colour-coated groundnut pieces instead of pista in manufacture of sonpapdi, FDA team led by Milind Deshpande, assistant commissioner (Food), and comprising of food safety officers Anant Chaudhary, Abhay Deshpande and Praful Tople conducted a raid. The green-coloured groundnut pieces and artificial edible green colour recovered from the shop were sent to a laboratory for testing.
