The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Maharashtra has issued a notice to Lonavla-based chikki manufacturer Maganlal Food Products to stop the production and sale of its product for the alleged violation of the Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006.
During the inspection conducted by FDA officials on December 11, 2018 at the company’s manufacturing unit at Nangargaon MIDC near Lonavla, it was found that it was not complying with various food safety norms.
Giving details into the matter, a senior official from FDA Maharashtra said, “The products sold by the company were neither tested at FSSAI-accredited National Accreditation Board for Testing and Calibration (NABL) labs, nor does the company have its own proper food testing lab.”
According to the notice issued, it was found that company did not have a qualified person to supervise the production, and thus, has been instructed to recruit the same.
Further, it was also found that conditions at the plant were unhygienic and labelling on the packets lacked details, thus the company has been asked to stop the production and sale of food items.
“Until the company complies with the norms it will not be able to restart production. For failing to comply with regulation, action will be taken under the Act,” the official said.
