| Abstract: |
The Punjab Food Authority (PFA) Monday sealed 22 food businesses and slapped a fine of Rs886,500 on more than 150 eateries during a province-wide grand operation against adulterators and unhygienic food points. The authority took action against them for failing to meet food standards defined in the provincial food law. The objective behind the operation was to ensure the provision of healthy and safe food to the public. PFA Director General Irfan Memon led an operation in Sargodha and sealed six food outlets besides confiscating a huge quantity of unwholesome food and machinery. Al-Makkah Dairy, Nafees Dairy and AM Dairy were shut down over failure of milk samples in lab tests, not mentioned expiry dates on butter product and for having a low level of LR. |
