Jammu and Kashmir FDA Bans 10 Ghee Batches Over Safety and Quality Violations
The Jammu and Kashmir Food and Drugs Administration (FDA) has banned 10 batches of ghee after laboratory tests found them unsafe, sub-standard, and misbranded. Samples collected from various districts showed the presence of foreign vegetable fat and deviations from prescribed food safety standards under the Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006. Wholesalers, distributors, and retailers have been ordered to stop sale and withdraw these batches immediately. The FDA allows re-analysis through notified laboratories and is monitoring market compliance.
