The Punjab Food Authority (PFA) late last night sealed a famous restaurant and imposed heavy fine on two bread manufacturers due to breach of the PFA law. According to details, the PFA sealed a famous food point (Yasir Broast) over the worst condition of hygiene issue, abundance of insects and using poor quality oil for frying purpose.
In addition, the PFA raided Sunny Bread and Dawn Bread located at Township Industrial Estate and imposed Rs200,000 fine each on both the facilities. It also served a warning notice to both factories for bringing improvement within three days and warning of a strict action in case of violation.
