Despite the failure of five samples taken from the plant by the departmental team, the officials of the Food and Safety Department have not yet taken any action against the accused making fake Paneer.
That on 29th June, the team of Food Safety and Drug Administration Department raided the Paneer plant near Haripurkalan Sukhi river under the leadership of Garhwal Deputy Commissioner RS Rawat. The team found a large quantity of illegal and harmful substances on the spot. The team recovered about three quintals of Paneer, 80 kg of arrowroot, 60 liters of acetic acid, acid, 10 liters of palm oil from the plant. The team collected five samples from the spot and sent them for testing, in which three samples of Paneer, one of palm oil and one of acetic acid were taken. All three samples of Paneer failed in the test, despite this, Dehradun District Officer is not taking action against those making fake Paneer.
