Authorities in Rajasthan have seized over 22,000 litres of expired and adulterated ghee valued at ₹1.6 crore and arrested three individuals.
In a significant crackdown on food safety violations, authorities in Rajasthan have seized a massive consignment of ghee that was found to be both expired and adulterated. The total quantity of the seized product exceeds 22,000 litres, with an estimated market value of ₹1.6 crore.
The operation resulted in the arrest of three individuals who were allegedly involved in the storage and distribution of the substandard dairy product. Officials stated that the ghee failed basic quality checks, posing a serious health risk to consumers if it had been sold in the open market.
