The Food Safety and Drug Administration Department launched 24 special enforcement teams in Ghaziabad, Mathura, and Saharanpur to ensure the quality of these products. As a result of this drive, 7,686 kg of adulterated food material was destroyed, valued at approximately ₹10 lakh. Additionally, 2,131 kg of food material and adulterants valued at around ₹4.75 lakh were seized. Five FIRs were registered against the units involved in the use of industrial-grade chemicals and palmolein/refined vegetable oil in paneer manufacturing, as well as producing food items in unhygienic conditions.",
