The Madhya Pradesh Food Safety Department confiscated 60 kg of questionable cheese from Gopal Dairy in Bhopal after a tip-off, and collected samples of cake and idli mix for laboratory analysis.
Bhopal's Food Safety Department acted on a confidential tip and seized a large consignment of cheese weighing 60 kilograms from Gopal Dairy, located in the Sonagiri area. The seized cheese was described as "suspect" pending laboratory verification. In addition to the cheese, officials collected samples of cake and idli mix from the same outlet for further testing.
The department has informed that the samples will be sent to a certified food testing laboratory to determine compliance with safety and quality standards. The move follows standard protocol when any dairy product raises concerns about adulteration or contamination.
Authorities indicated that once the test results are received, appropriate enforcement action will be taken against the dairy, which may include penalties, recall of products, or suspension of operations, depending on the findings.
The seizure underscores the department's ongoing vigilance in monitoring food items sold in the city, aiming to protect consumers from potentially unsafe dairy products.
Further updates will be provided as the investigation progresses and test outcomes become available.
