The Madhya Pradesh government has prohibited the manufacturing, sale, and use of analog paneer, citing health risks associated with the product.
The state government of Madhya Pradesh announced a ban on the production, sale, and use of analog paneer today, citing serious health concerns linked to the product.
The decision follows reports of contamination and the use of unapproved additives in some batches of analog paneer sold in local markets.
Food safety officials will enforce the ban, with penalties for manufacturers and vendors who continue to produce or sell the product.
The move is expected to affect small-scale producers and consumers who rely on analog paneer as a cheaper alternative to traditional paneer.
