Punjab Food Authority (PFA) has launched a campaign to inspect quality of ketchup and tea being sold in markets. PFA took sample of ketchup and tea from the market. The samples were collected from the market in supervision of DG PFA, Noor ul Amin Mengal and all of the samples were forwarded to laboratories for evaluation. The samples of ketchup and tea brands were collected from different areas of the city.
The samples include Shezan Tomato Ketchup, Gourmet Tomato Ketchup, Shangrilla Tomato Ketchup, National Tomato Ketchup, Mitchell's Tomato Ketchup, Vital Tea, Tapal Tea, Tapal Green Tea, Tapal Gulbahar Green Tea, Tapal Danedar Tea, Tapal Family Mixture and Lipton Yellow Label Tea.
DG PFA was of the view that test results will be shared with public after evaluation and everything being sold in the market must be checked and tested. Burden of diseases can be undermined by maintaining the standard of edibles, he added. In addition to this, many food points like Sabri Chaska point, Irfan Ali Burger Point and Bilal Milk Shop on Shershah Road were strictly instructed to secure E-License and improve the standards.
