The Punjab Food Authority (PFA) under the supervision of its Director General Irfan Memon raided a production unit of private confectionery factory and confiscated 12,000kg unwholesome chocolates and snacks.

DG Irfan Memon said that the authority took action against the company for not mentioning the manufacturing date on products and failing to produce a record. Meanwhile, chocolates and chips were preserved in the open storage area for packing purpose without taking any preventative measures, he said.

It is compulsory for any food business operator to discard the expired edibles instead of the store as per the PFA act rules, he said and added that the PFA is impartially dealing with all Food Business Operators and its action would continue against violators.
