25 Quintals Analogue Paneer Seized in Sehore Dairy Raid

A raid was conducted by a joint team of the Bhopal Divisional Flying Squad and the Sehore Food and Drug Administration (FDA) at Rudransh Dairy in Pachama village, Sehore, on Wednesday night. The team seized 25 quintals of analogue paneer from the dairy.

The raid was carried out following a complaint received by the Food Commissioner regarding the production of spurious and analogue paneer in Sehore. According to Flying Squad In-charge Pankaj Srivastava, the action was taken after receiving the complaint.

During the inspection, several irregularities were found in the production process of paneer. The packets did not bear the company or dairy name, indicating false labelling. Large quantities of salt and sugar were also found during the inspection.

This is not the first time the Rudransh dairy has been raided. Earlier, the Sehore FDA team had seized over 2 quintals of analogue paneer from the same facility. Despite the earlier action, the production of analogue paneer did not stop, and substandard paneer continued to be manufactured in large quantities.

The raid on Rudransh Dairy is part of a larger crackdown on the production and sale of analogue paneer in Madhya Pradesh. The state government had banned the manufacture and sale of analogue paneer on August 12. Since then, the FDA has been conducting raids on dairies across the state.

On Wednesday night, teams of the Food and Drug Administration raided several dairies across Bhopal, Bhind, Ratlam, and Indore, seizing over 10,000 kg of analogue paneer, analogue khoya, and other substandard milk products. FDA senior food safety officer DK Verma informed that the department has seized 10,464 kg of analogue paneer from across the state since the ban was announced.

The crackdown on analogue paneer is a significant step towards ensuring the quality and safety of milk products in Madhya Pradesh. The state government's ban on the manufacture and sale of analogue paneer is aimed at protecting the health and interests of consumers.

The seizure of large quantities of analogue paneer from Rudransh Dairy and other facilities across the state highlights the need for stricter regulations and enforcement to prevent the production and sale of substandard milk products. The FDA's efforts to crack down on the production and sale of analogue paneer are a welcome step towards ensuring the quality and safety of milk products in Madhya Pradesh.

In conclusion, the raid on Rudransh Dairy and the seizure of analogue paneer is a significant development in the state government's efforts to crack down on the production and sale of substandard milk products. The FDA's efforts to enforce the ban on analogue paneer are a welcome step towards protecting the health and interests of consumers in Madhya Pradesh.
