Nepal restricts the import, sale and distribution of India-made Priyagold (Priya Gold) biscuits after its food authority flags quality and safety concerns. Nepal’s Food Technology and Quality Control Department issues a notice ordering the restrictions on the product, described as “sub-standard.” The action affects biscuits manufactured by India’s Surya Food & Agro Ltd.

The reports cite action connected to India’s Food Safety and Standards Authority (FSSAI), which initiates legal proceedings against Surya Food & Agro. Business Line states that FSSAI’s case relates to the alleged use of cattle feed bran in the manufacture of the biscuits. Across outlets, the immediate Nepal measure is presented as a response to food-safety findings and compliance concerns raised by the Indian regulator, though details of Nepal’s stated testing or specific regulatory grounds vary in emphasis.

Overall, the story centers on cross-border enforcement: Nepal moves to limit distribution pending resolution, while India’s FSSAI pursues legal steps against the manufacturer tied to its production practices.
