Speaking at a news conference here Thursday, Director General KP Food Authority Riaz Khan Mehsud said they had sealed all the eight factories for making substandard spices, seized the machinery and arrested the owners.“This is the biggest-ever crackdown by KP Food Authority on the enemies of human beings in the past two days. I call them the enemies of humans because they are playing with the lives of the people but we would not spare them,” said Riaz Khan Mehsud. He said the authority had also recovered 400 litres rancid oil, 160 kilograms of non-food graded colour and 300 kilograms of Chinese salt. Riaz Mehsud said that 20 sacks of low quality broken rice were also recovered during the operation which was used in the spices for enhancing weight. |
