Four factories sealed in Peshawar

The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Food Authority on Sunday sealed four factories in Peshawar for supplying substandard food as part of its pre-Ramazan crackdown. According to the details, four factories were sealed at Phandu Road and Nishtarabad over producing substandard food items. The factories which were sealed on Sunday include vinegar, jam, and sweets factories which were disregarding the basic hygiene and health rules.
Director General KP Food Authority Riaz Mehsud said the teams of the Authority are prepared for raids at any time on food outlets during the holy month of Ramazan. He said special teams have been formed to take action against substandard food sellers and factories. He said these teams remain prepared for raids round the clock.
The DG said no compromise would be made on quality of food during Ramazan. He said he will personally accompany the raiding teams where needed.
