Officials of the Food Safety Administration under the Health Department, UT, conducted a surprise raid around 7 am and seized paneer from House No. 714/2 and a pick-up vehicle parked near the house.

The Food Safety Officer on duty collected samples of paneer, along with those of desi ghee and curd. These samples will be tested by an FSSAI-authorised food analyst laboratory, and action will be taken under the Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006, if they are found to violate safety norms.
