Substandard
It was found to be adulterated and failed in tests conducted in both the state and the central laboratories.
According to the test report of the sample the product was found to be adulterated and failed to meet the standards.
Earlier in 2021, the Food Safety and Drugs Department had found that it was injurious to health, however, Ramdev’s company refused to accept it and called it false.
After this the food safety regulator sent a sample of the ghee for testing in a Central laboratory.
