Patanjali Foods faces a sale ban on a sorghum flour batch in Kannur, Kerala, after authorities order the product to be withheld due to alleged pesticide residue. NDTV reports that the restriction applies to the specific batch under scrutiny rather than all sorghum flour products. The company states that the financial impact is limited to the affected batch. Patanjali Foods also indicates it will challenge the order through the appellate process, seeking to contest the basis of the ban. The reports do not provide additional details on the level of residue or the specific pesticide involved. The matter remains pending as the company proceeds with its appeal. Overall, both accounts describe the same development in Kannur and the same company response: the ban concerns a single batch, Patanjali says losses are confined to that batch, and it plans to pursue appellate authorities to overturn or modify the order.
