India’s food safety authority has ordered CG Foods to stop producing Veg Bhujia Namkeen after finding that dirty, broken noodles fallen on the floor were recycled to make the snack.
India’s food safety regulator, FSSAI, has told CG Foods India Pvt. Ltd. in Ajmer, Rajasthan, to stop production of ‘Veg Bhujia Namkeen’.
FSSAI Finds Major Hygiene Issues
During inspection, the officers found that noodles that fell on floor were collected and reused to make bhujia. To make things worse, these broken noodles were used without any proper heat treatment.
FSSAI seized more than 32,107 kg of stock from company factory. This seized stock also contained those broken noodles that had fallen on the floor.
Expired Products and Unlicensed Items
Also, the team seized 1,925 boxes of expired finished products. The regulators found that company did not maintain proper cleanliness, pest control, and document records during their inspection.
According to FSSAI, CG Foods was also producing bhujia named ‘Wai-Wai MaMa’ and ‘Wai-Wai Mama Punte’ without getting the needed permissions.
The food authority have sent the product samples to laboratory for testing. They have started legal process against company. Further action will be taken based on lab test reports and detailed inspection.
