The Food Safety and Drug Administration in Uttar Pradesh banned the manufacture, storage, and sale of products labeled as 'puja ghee'. This directive, issued on October 10, instructs food business operators across the state to stop selling these products. The ban follows concerns that some products intended for religious rituals contain non-edible substances such as vanaspati, refined oils, and paraffin.
