The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) initiates legal proceedings and sanctions prosecution against three companies—Priyagold biscuits maker Surya Food & Agro, Dodla Dairy, and Ueir Organic Foods—over alleged breaches of food-safety regulations.
According to reports, FSSAI links the action against Surya Food & Agro to the use of cattle feed bran in Priyagold biscuit manufacturing, which it says leads to impurities. For Dodla Dairy, outlets report concerns including milk contamination with detergent, along with failure to meet required fat-related standards. Across the companies, FSSAI also cites issues such as hygiene and premises maintenance, pest control, and deficiencies related to raw-material storage and segregation, personnel hygiene, licensing, and compliance.
While the outlets differ in emphasis—some foreground the cattle-feed bran in biscuits and detergent in milk—each describes FSSAI taking enforcement steps that include prosecution and notices to businesses regarding multiple operational and compliance shortcomings under the food-safety rules.
