Khanewal, Dec 02 (APP):Punjab Food Authority (PFA) seized 800 kg fungus-infected pickle
from a unit on Fareedkot-Jehanian Bypass near here on Monday.
The PFA team discarded the pickle and imposed fine of Rs 30,000 on the owners for violating food safety rules. The operation was carried out under the directives of PFA Director General Asim Javed. During the inspection, officials discovered severely compromised hygiene conditions, including a storeroom stocked with mold-infested mango pickles and the use of stale vegetables in the production process. The manufacturing area
was infested with insects and littered with waste.
DG Asim Javed emphasized the importance of adhering to hygienic practices during food preparation and warned of strict legal action against violators of food safety laws.
“Ensuring public health is our top priority, and there will be zero tolerance for those jeopardizing it”, he added.
