Intensifying its drive against the sale of unsafe, misbranded and counterfeit food products, the Food Safety Team of the Health Department, Ludhiana, conducted a surprise inspection at a health supplement store located on Tibba Road on Thursday. During the raid, the team seized approximately 75 kg of imported empty wrappers of various nutritional supplements, raising serious concerns regarding their possible misuse for repackaging, misbranding and the illegal marketing of food supplements. In addition, around 100 kg of nutritional supplements were seized for further investigation. The inspection also led to the recovery of 36 boxes of artificial flavouring agents, which were found stored on the premises and seized on the spot for further examination and legal action under the provisions of the Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006.
