Fungus, Cockroach, Dead Mice In Warehouse: Ganesh Products Loses Licence

The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) on Wednesday said that it has suspended with immediate effect the licence of Ganesh Products Private Limited following serious and critical food safety non-compliances found during an inspection of its food manufacturing premises.The inspection found the overall cleaning and sanitation of the premises to be highly unsatisfactory, with significant accumulation of dirt, soil and dark matter, along with algae or fungal spots, cockroaches, rodents, flies and cobwebs in processing and storage areas. The finished-product storage area was also found inadequate, with improper stacking, products kept close to walls and insufficient ventilation.Inspectors further observed rusting on most production containers, which were reportedly in unhygienic condition and had unwanted material deposited on them.
