Substandard

After this the food safety regulator sent a sample of the ghee for testing in a Central laboratory.

Consequently the regulator will file a suit in the SDM court of Tehri district where the sample came from.

The Designated Officer of Food Safety Department, said, “As per the laboratory report, there is adulteration in Patanjali ghee; it does not meet the standards and is injurious to health.”

Coronavirus kit 

Aside from food products 3 items from its Coronil kit, ‘Divya Anu Tail’ was found “sub-standard” by the Uttarakhand Ayurvedic Drug Testing Laboratory.

Another item, ‘Divya Swasari Vati’, couldn’t be tested since there were no “pharmacopeial standards” available for it.

The third item, Coronil tablets, passed the test.

The kit was launched in June 2020 during the first wave and claimed that almost all patients who took it recovered from the virus within 3-14 days.
