Ahead of the festive season, the Uttar Pradesh food safety and drug administration have tightened inspections of sweets, dairy products and other food items. According to latest reports, around 490 kg of sweets and 275 kg of <span>paneer</span> destroyed in <span>Bareilly</span> after officials found them unfit for consumption or being stored in unhygienic conditions. 

The move comes as demand for sweets, <span>khoya</span>, milk and paneer increases around festivals including <span>Raksha Bandhan</span>, Barawafat (Eid-e-Milad-un-Nabi) and <span>Janmashtami</span>.

During an inspection at Tirpal Ankur Sweets in Nadausi village, officials found sweets including kalakand, barfi, <span>sohan papdi</span> and rasgullas being prepared, handled, and stored in unhygienic conditions. 

Assistant Commissioner (Food) <span>Rahul Singh</span> said samples were collected and sent to a laboratory for testing. Officials destroyed 140 kg of kalakand and 350 kg of barfi, together weighing around 490 kg and estimated to be worth Rs 1.70 lakh. 

Samples were also collected from several other sweet shops, including peda, barfi, khoya and laddus. Further action will be taken depending on the laboratory results.

<h2>275 Kg Spoiled Paneer Seized And Destroyed </h2>

In a separate operation, food safety officials and police intercepted a food transport vehicle which was travelling from Badaun to Bareilly around midnight on August 23. 

The team recovered approximately 275 kg of <a href="https://www.healthandme.com/health-news/maharashtra-becomes-second-indian-state-to-ban-sale-of-fake-paneer-heres-why-it-can-be-harmful-article-155296681" data-type="tilCustomLink">paneer</a>, which officials said was in a highly deteriorated condition. They said it had been emitting a foul odour and had been stored unhygienically. 

After collecting a sample, authorities seized and destroyed the entire batch, estimated to be worth around Rs 65,760. 

The action comes amid similar food safety drives during festive season at other places in Uttar Pradesh. 

In Noida, authorities recently seized and destroyed around 300 kg of paneer, citing it was unfit for consumption. Multiple samples of paneer, curd and sweets were sent for <a href="https://www.healthandme.com/health-news/from-liquor-to-dabur-to-vkc-nuts-fssai-crackdown-puts-food-safety-in-focus-why-it-matters-article-155492838" data-type="tilCustomLink">laboratory testing</a>.

<h2>Why Are Unsafe Sweets And Paneer A Health Risk? </h2>

Poor hygiene and improper storage of food can allow harmful microorganisms to grow in food, especially in milk-based products like <a href="https://www.healthandme.com/nutrition/real-paneer-vs-analogue-paneer-could-it-affect-your-health-article-155370566" data-type="tilCustomLink">paneer, khoya and other sweets</a>. 

Eating contaminated food can cause food poisoning, with symptoms like nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, abdominal cramps and fever. 

In some cases, particularly among young children, older adults and people with weakened immunity, severe infection can lead to dehydration and other serious complications. 

Spoiled dairy products can also undergo deterioration on a microbe level, which can produce foul odour and harmful changes in texture and taste. But, appearance, taste or smell alone cannot reliably determine whether food is safe, which is why laboratory testing is important.

<h2>How Can Consumers Stay Safe During Festive Season? </h2>

As festive demand rises, consumers can reduce their risk by buying sweets and dairy products from licensed, reputable establishments and avoiding products that appear improperly stored or handled. 

Fresh <a href="https://www.healthandme.com/health-news/zomato-under-flak-for-selling-analogue-paneer-how-to-identify-it-article-151067533" data-type="tilCustomLink">dairy-based sweets</a> should be kept under appropriate temperature conditions, while packaged products should be checked for expiry dates, manufacturing details and storage instructions.

This comes amid a broader <span>FSSAI</span> action in which the food safety authority has been tightening rules against food establishments and brands that are in violation due to various misconducts. Recently, it ordered to stop the sale of all variants of ghee manufactured by Daman-based SDP Industries, after laboratory tests found signs of adulteration and violation of food safety standards.

The move came after an inspection conducted on May 19. <a href="https://www.healthandme.com/health-news/fssai-tightens-pan-masala-packaging-rules-maharashtra-fda-flags-blinkit-reliance-retail-due-to-cockroach-infestation-article-155597542" data-type="tilCustomLink">FSSAI</a> said multiple samples were found adulterated, with laboratory analysis detecting β-sitosterol, a plant sterol that should not be present in genuine ghee. The samples also contained abnormalities in fatty-acid composition. 

The food regulator has prohibited the manufacture, storage and sale of the company’s ghee products from its authorised premises until further orders. The products include brands like SHRADDHA, SHREE SARAS and GOKUL.
