What happened
The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India initiated legal proceedings for prosecution against Surya Food & Agro, Dodla Dairy, and UEIR Organic Foods for serious food safety violations. The regulator found that Surya Food & Agro was using cattle feed bran in manufacturing Priyagold biscuits. Additionally, a sample of Dodla Dairy's full cream milk was substandard, and UEIR Organic Foods was found to have pesticide residues in yellow raisins.
Why it matters
The regulatory action signals serious non-compliance with food safety standards across multiple product categories. The use of non-food grade materials and pesticide contamination could lead to product recalls, fines, and increased operational costs for the involved companies.
