FDA collects Patanjali ghee samples for lab testing
What the coverage says
Maharashtra food safety authorities recently removed thousands of liters of Patanjali ghee from distribution during an inspection sweep. While The Hindu specifies that the operation confiscated 2,279.7 liters valued at ₹20.20 lakh from a regional distributor named Divya Mahavitarak, NDTV Profit reports a much broader total seizure of Rs 9 crore in various food items across the state. NDTV Profit also notes that the enforcement action, overseen by Tukaram Mundhe, occurred between October 28 and 31 as part of a festival safety drive, and The Hindu adds that officials have suspended licenses over suspicions of misbranding or adulteration. Meanwhile, Economic Times covers the ongoing investigation by noting that the agency has gathered product samples specifically for laboratory testing.
