Jammu and Kashmir Food and Drugs Administration

The Jammu and Kashmir Food and Drugs Administration, operating under India's Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006, has taken decisive action to ensure food safety within its jurisdiction. The organization recently halted the sale, storage, distribution, and display of ten ghee brands and batches. This measure was implemented following laboratory examinations that detected the presence of foreign vegetable fat in some of the ghee samples. These findings led to the classification of the products as sub-standard, unsafe, or misbranded.

The administration's move underscores its commitment to maintaining high food safety standards and protecting consumer health.
