The Punjab Food Authority (PFA) has confiscated a huge cache of expired chocolate after caught two fully loaded trucks and a warehouse in the vicinity of Sheikhupura Road.

An undercover operation was conducted to target the counterfeiters under the supervision of PFA Director General Irfan Memon by placing pickets more than 14-hours long at different points.

He said that the authority has registered a case against supplier named Waseem Aslam and handed him over to the police after he was apprehended.

DG said that Waseem was trying to supply fully loaded trucks with expired chocolates to Faisalabad after purchasing from the production unit of Kolson but PFA has foiled an attempt to supply a consignment of thousands of kilograms bonbons/chocolates after caught him red-handed.

He told that expired chocolates had to be supplied in the market of Faisalabad and its surrounding areas after repacking and removing fungus by using chemicals.

Irfan Memon further said that PFA also raided a warehouse near Sial Flour Mill at Faisalabad Road upon the information of supplier where the main stock of expired chocolate was kept.
