LAHORE: The Punjab Food Authority (PFA) on Monday stopped the sale of a superstore in Nishtar Town over failure to present the record of 14 imported food products to the raiding team.
PFA Director General Shoaib Khan Jadoon said that the superstore was selling imported edibles without completing the documentation and acquired permission from the competent authority. He said labelling and registration of all products are mandatory for food business operators to run a food business as per PFA rules.
He appealed to the public to read the writing on the label before purchasing any foodstuff because reading food labels can help people make smart food choices. It is compulsory for food business operators to follow the Punjab Pure Food Regulations, he said.
DG PFA has appealed to citizens to inform PFA on its helpline (080080500), Facebook, mobile application and website to register food-related complaints.
