Shimla, November 15

Following the complaints of fungus in the sweets sold by HP Milkfed on Diwali, HP Milkfed Managing Director has constituted a committee to look into the matter.

The MD has also sent a notice to Chandigarh Sweets, which prepared the sweets for Milkfed, to submit the test reports to the authorities concerned about the manufacturing and quality of the sweets.

The unit owner has been given three days to submit the report and explain its position regarding the quality of the sweets, failing which action would be initiated against it.
