Priyagold Biscuit Mein Cattle Feed Bran? Nepal Ne Band Kiya
Nepal has banned the import, sale and distribution of Priyagold biscuits made by India's Surya Food and Agro Ltd, calling them sub-standard, after India's food regulator began legal proceedings against the company. The Food Technology and Quality Control Department issued the notice on Monday and told importers to recall existing stock.
FSSAI has suspended the manufacturer's licence and started prosecution proceedings over the alleged use of cattle feed bran in biscuit production, along with other alleged serious violations. The report notes that the allegations should be distinguished from a final determination of liability. Nepal's notice did not announce a separate inspection finding, and it did not say whether any illnesses have been linked to the product.
Dekho babu, abhi tak sirf allegation hai, faisla nahi aaya. Hum koi conclusion nahi nikaal rahe. Par ek baat mazedaar hai: Nepal ne apni jaanch nahi ki, India ke FSSAI ka notice dekh ke ban laga diya. Yaani padosi ne kaha, 'bhaiya aap khud bol rahe ho toh hum kaise na maane?'
Is beech Priyagold ka licence suspend hai aur traders se kaha gaya hai ki stock wapas karo. Hum bas ye soch rahe hain ki jin logon ne bachpan mein chai mein biscuit dooba kar khaya tha, unko ab nostalgia mein bhi shak hoga. Cattle feed ho ya na ho, regulator ka kaam yahi hai ki baad mein jaage, aur wo bhi jaag gaya, shukr hai.
FINAL VERDICTPrachand Chutiya of the Month: wo bhains, jo ab biscuit khaane ki hakdaar thi, par kisi ne uska menu cheen liya. Faisla court ka, mazaak Prachandaa ka.
