Panaji, Oct 19: The Food and Drugs Administration (FDA) has
directed dealers and shopkeepers in Goa not to sell a particular
stock of a brand of chocolate made by Cadburys which was
manufactured prior to June 2003, till it was certified ``fit for
human consumption.``
FDA Director S N Tripthi said here that they had sealed
confectionery stocks worth Rs five lakh from Panaji, Mapusa, Margao
and Ponda in the state after a laboratory test had revealed that one
of the six samples of chocolates taken from Panaji and Mapusa by the
FDA was worm-infested.
Twenty other samples had been sent for preparing analytical reports.
Tripathi further said various angles were being probed to find out the exact cause of the adulteration of chocolates. He said since the matter was in the initial stage, it could not be stated whether the adulteration had occurred at the manufacturing stage or at the storage points.
