In a major inspection drive, the Haryana Food Safety Department uncovered serious violations at a dairy facility in Gannaur, Sonipat.
A joint team comprising Sonipat district food safety officials and the Chief Minister’s flying squad carried out the raid, during which they reportedly found refined oil and vegetable fats allegedly being mixed into milk to artificially raise its fat levels. Samples of paneer, mawa, and white butter were collected and sent to a laboratory for detailed testing.
Authorities revealed that the plant operator was unable to produce a valid FSSAI licence. A formal notice was issued, giving the owner three days to present the required documentation.
During the inspection, several food products deemed unfit for human consumption were destroyed on-site by the officials.
