Jadoon said that PFA has stopped the production of five cafes till further order by imposing emergency prohibition orders. He said that EPOs were imposed for failing to meet the hygienic working environment and non-compliance with the previous instructions of the authority.
Further, the food authority has penalized four cafés (tea points) over violations. He directed cafes to sustain the standards as their names and follow the Punjab Pure Food Regulations otherwise lawbreakers would be dealt with an iron hand. DG PFA said that PFA has been ensuring the implementation of a uniform policy for the food industry from day first.
