Here is a 400-word summary of the article:
The Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation (AMC) food department team seized 105 kg of suspected fake Amul ghee from a store in the Jashodanagar area. The team received a tip-off about counterfeit ghee being sold at Charbhuja Kirana Store, located at Jashodanagar Chowkdi. Upon inspection, they found seven 15-kg tins of ghee at the store, with a misspelled label reading “Shuddh”, which raised concerns about the authenticity of the product. When questioned, the store’s trader claimed that the ghee had been sourced from Hardik Traders near Hatkeshwar Circle. Following this, a raid was conducted at the Hardik Traders’ godown, but it was found to be closed. The AMC then sealed the godown.
The seized ghee has been sent to the food testing laboratory for analysis to determine if it meets the required standards. If found to be adulterated, the ghee will be destroyed, and necessary action will be taken against the accused parties. This incident highlights the importance of vigilant vigilance by the authorities to protect consumers from substandard and potentially harmful products. The AMC’s swift action in seizing the suspected ghee and sealing the godown demonstrates its commitment to ensuring the quality and safety of the city’s food supply.
The issue of fake or adulterated ghee is a significant concern in India, with several cases of fake ghee being sold in the market. The Amul brand, being a well-known and reputable brand, is particularly vulnerable to counterfeiting. The seizure of the suspected ghee is a major success for the AMC, and it is expected to lead to further investigations and possible arrests. The incident serves as a reminder to consumers to be cautious when purchasing food products, and to report any suspicious activity to the authorities.
