An FIR has been lodged against a private catering firm for allegedly supplying duplicate ghee tins bearing “Amul” label to prepare “prasad” for devotees visiting a religious fair at the Ambaji Temple in Banaskantha district of Gujarat, police officials said on Tuesday.
The Gujarat Food and Drug Control Administration (GFDCA) had collected samples of ghee supplied by the accused firm at the Ambaji Temple, and they failed to meet the required quality standards during laboratory testing, the officials said.
As a result, 180 ghee tins supplied by Mohini Caterers were sealed and an FIR was lodged against the firm at the Ambaji police station on the basis of a complaint filed by the Sabarkantha District Co-operative Milk Producers’ Union Ltd, or Sabar Dairy, police said.
