The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) seized and destroyed 501.3 kg of sweets, which were made with artificial colourants beyond the permissible limit, during a special drive conducted ahead of Deepavali in Coimbatore district. The half-tonne sweets were confiscated during inspections carried out by nine separate teams of the FSSAI in 104 places, including manufacturers, wholesale dealers, those who manufacture only during festival seasons and retailers, from November 1 to 6. According to the food regulator, indiscriminate use of artificial colouring agents was the main problem found with the seized sweets, which were worth about ₹ 1.10 lakh. The varieties included laddoo and jalebi. Seven samples collected from the seized sweets were sent to a government laboratory for examination. Notices were served on 45 traders for violation under Section 55 (penalty for failure to comply with the directions of food safety officer) of the Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006.
