LAHORE: The Punjab Food Authority (PFA) thwarted a bid of distributing adulterated juice in the month of Ramadan.
As per details, the authority, with its timely action, seized ingredients of about 10,000 kilograms which comprise chemicals, artificial colors and flavors, and starch.
The officials of PFA stated that the contents to prepare sub-standard juice were transported from Sarghoda to Lahore.
The owner of the factory was booked, while the search for the production unit was ongoing, the officials added.
Last month, the Punjab Food Authority’s enforcement teams had foiled an attempt to supply thousands of liters of tainted milk which was being carried on a tanker from Sahiwal to Lahore.
According to a statement released from the ministry, PFA confiscated 3,000 liters adulterated milk prepared with hazardous powder and chemicals.
