The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) has issued a show cause notice to the company regarding the Tirupati Laddu issue. If the company fails to provide a satisfactory reply, its license may be canceled, and fines may be imposed. The matter has now reached the Supreme Court, with BJP leader Subramanian Swamy filing a PIL on Monday, signifying the national significance and concern over the issue.
The license of AR Dairy, the company responsible for supplying ghee mixed with animal fat to Tirupati's Venkateswara Swamy temple, is currently facing potential cancellation. This action is being taken by the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) following the receipt of a complaint regarding adulteration. The FSSAI has issued a show cause notice to the company, prompting an investigation into the alleged adulteration of the ghee supplied to the temple. If the investigation substantiates the claims of adulteration, the company's license may be revoked.
Sample Test Report
A senior official from the Health Ministry has stated that the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) has issued a notice based on the test report of a sample sent by Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanam (TTD). This action was taken to ensure compliance with food safety standards and regulations. It's important to note that the FSSAI license is a mandatory requirement for selling any kind of food product in the market. This license serves as a means to verify and uphold the quality of food products available to consumers, thereby ensuring public health and safety.
