'Don't applaud FSSAI. Interrogate it': Pawan Khera questions regulator after cattle feed bran found in Priyagold biscuits

The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) has faced criticism after it was found that a popular biscuit brand, Priyagold, contained cattle feed bran. Pawan Khera, a politician, has questioned the regulator's actions, suggesting that the alleged violations may have continued for a long time and that the FSSAI failed to detect them earlier. This raises concerns about the effectiveness of India's food safety regulations, particularly the FSSAI's ability to monitor and enforce compliance.

Why it matters

The discovery of cattle feed bran in Priyagold biscuits has raised questions about the regulator's effectiveness and the company's quality control. This could lead to a loss of consumer trust and a decline in the company's stock price.
