State authorities in Gujarat have confiscated 44 kilograms of ghee in Deesa that was suspected of being adulterated or not meeting food safety standards.
Gujarat officials seized 44 kilograms of ghee in the town of Deesa after it was found to be potentially adulterated. The ghee was reportedly being sold by a local dairy supplier and was flagged during routine inspections.
The seizure was carried out by state food safety authorities who noted that the product did not meet the required purity standards set by the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India. The seized batch will be tested in a laboratory to confirm the presence of any contaminants or additives.
Officials said the investigation will determine whether the supplier violated any regulations and whether further action, such as fines or license suspension, will be taken. The incident underscores ongoing efforts to enforce food safety norms across Gujarat's dairy sector.
