The Rajasthan Food Safety Department intensified inspections before Diwali, confiscating 2,520 kg of pickled keri from multiple shops in Bhilwara after sampling.
Bhilwara, Rajasthan – In a pre‑Diwali crackdown, the state Food Safety Department carried out a surprise inspection across several retail outlets and seized a total of 2,520 kilograms of pickled keri. Officials collected samples from a number of shops, identified non‑compliance with food‑safety standards, and ordered the immediate confiscation of the product.
The operation, part of a broader effort to ensure the quality of food items sold during the festive season, involved field officers from the department’s regional office. The seized pickles are slated for laboratory testing to confirm the presence of any adulterants or health hazards.
Authorities have urged consumers to remain vigilant and purchase food items only from reputable sources, especially during high‑demand periods like Diwali. The department will continue random checks in the coming weeks to curb the circulation of substandard food products.
