Gujarat FDCA Seizes 700 kg of Adulterated Red Chutney in Palanpur
The Gujarat Food and Drugs Control Administration (FDCA) seized 700 kg of adulterated red chutney from a provision store in Palanpur's Banaskantha district. The seizure included 140 unlabeled jars, each containing 5 kg of chutney valued at Rs 20,940. Samples have been sent for laboratory analysis under the Food Safety and Standards Act, with legal action pending based on results. Experts warn that unnaturally bright red color in chutney may indicate adulteration with artificial colors or fillers.
