Investigators uncovered rampant product misbranding and deceptive marketing strategies during the compliance blitz. The field teams discovered that the implicated processing operations were actively distributing consumer commodities—specifically identifying popular lines like Keston Curd and Divya Curds—with highly misleading structural claims and unverified retail advertisements. Beyond the immediate mislabeling violations on finished goods, safety inspectors uncovered a severe quality control compromise: both dairy processing establishments were actively utilizing expired laboratory reagents and chemical agents for their internal food testing protocols.

The operational assessment further revealed profound structural deficiencies and hazardous manufacturing environments at both processing plants. The state food safety task force documented a complete failure to maintain standard hygiene and sanitation protocols across the primary production floors. Furthermore, the facilities lacked adequate record maintenance protocols, triggering severe information gaps in baseline product traceability, which fundamentally disabled the secure verification of dairy inputs moving through the regional supply matrix.

Compounding these systemic tracking and sanitation issues, state safety teams reported active pest infestations and improper raw material storage practices that directly threatened product safety. Taking immediate punitive action to neutralize commercial risk, the department seized approximately 3,800 kilograms of processed cream valued at Rs 9.22 lakh from the manufacturing premises. Concurrently, enforcement officers collected physical control samples of fluid milk, fresh curd, and traditional paneer to undergo comprehensive laboratory diagnostics.
