In a major crackdown on food adulteration, the Food Safety Department in Uttar Pradesh’s Barabanki district seized 6,000 litres of suspected adulterated mustard oil and over 400 litres of expired oil during a special drive on Friday. The raid was conducted under the leadership of Food Inspector Dr Ankita Yadav at a firm operating in the UPSIDC industrial area in Kursi. Officials grew suspicious of the quality of ‘Gopichand Mustard Oil’ brand during inspection and immediately confiscated the stock. Additionally, around 420 litres of expired mustard oil were found stored despite crossing its expiry date and were destroyed on the spot under the Food Safety Act. Separate inspections were also carried out at grocery shops in Belhara, where coloured food items were discarded. Samples of the seized oil have been sent for laboratory testing, and legal action will follow based on the report. Sabarkantha: Fake Milk Factory Using Detergent, Urea Busted After 5 Years; INR 71 Lakh Worth Material Seized.
