Lucknow, Oct. 18 -- The FSDA has seized suspected adulterated food items worth Rs 62 lakh. In over 200 raids, officials confiscated and destroyed 12,200 kg of unsafe consumables, including paneer, khoya, vanaspati ghee, edible oil, valued at more than Rs 22 lakh. During this period, 165 samples were collected for laboratory analysis, said assistant commissioner FSDA, VP Singh. Also, a synthetic khoya manufacturing unit was shut down in Para. The unit's owner, Deepak alias Golu Shukla, was arrested after FSDA filed an FIR for food adulteration. According to officials, the unit was producing counterfeit khoya using a dangerous mix of skimmed milk powder, maize starch, vanaspati ghee, and unidentified white powder-suspected to be detergent or talcum powder-to replicate the texture and colour of real khoya. There is a shift in strategies by FSDA. Instead of raiding small shops, this time, supply chains were targeted, the vehicles carrying food items were searched and seized. htc...
