Since the FDA team found that 'Kaccha Mango Bite' was being manufactured using lactic acid during inspection, whose use is illegal for manufacturing edible and eatable products, as per the Food Safety & Standard Act 2006, it also seized lactic acid worth Rs 6 lakh, FDA sources told PTI today.
Situated at Gondegaon's Maharashtra Industrial Development Development Corporation (MIDC) industrial estate near Vadivarhe on the Mumbai-Agra national highway, in the Igatpuri tehsil, around 22 kms from Nashik, the plant was raided after some children in Nanded district of Maharashtra suffered food poisoning after consuming the company's products.
The FDA sealed the company's godown after impounding raw material, lactic acid stock and stocks of 'Kaccha Mango Bites', whose samples have been sent to Pune for examination, officials said.
