The SFA’s tests, conducted by the Food Testing Laboratory at the University of Karachi, revealed these products failed to meet safety and quality standards, posing significant health risks.
The SFA’s directive also calls for other provincial food authorities to investigate the issue in their jurisdictions to protect public health. The company initially submitted 24 products for registration, but these 11 failed the tests conducted on April 19.
In a letter, the SFA demanded an immediate recall of the affected products, cessation of their production and sale, and detailed information about their stock within three days. The company has the right to appeal this decision within one week.
The SFA has reserved the right to pursue further legal actions, including penal and criminal proceedings, under the relevant laws. The company has yet to issue a public response to the SFA’s actions.
