Officials from the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) have identified cattle feed mixed into Priyagold biscuits. A case has been registered by the authorities regarding this discovery.
This action by the FSSAI comes amid a nationwide increase in food adulteration. Officials stated that some individuals are adulterating food products for personal gain.
The involvement of major branded companies in such adulteration has raised public concern. This trend is eroding public trust in food safety standards.
The FSSAI has been taking stringent measures against manufacturers of adulterated food products. However, officials noted that these illicit activities continue despite their efforts.
The FSSAI is conducting continuous inspections and raids to curb food adulteration. These measures will continue with the aim of protecting public health.
