In Khargone, the Food Safety Department seized 35 tonnes of refined palm oil from Kesav Enterprises, sealing the tanker after discovering the oil was sold openly, violating license terms.
The Food Safety Department of Madhya Pradesh acted in Khargone on Thursday, seizing 35 tonnes of refined palm oil from Kesav Enterprises. The seized stock, valued at approximately ₹4 million, was found to be sold without proper packaging, in direct contravention of the company’s license conditions.
The department sealed the tanker and initiated an investigation into the sale practices of the firm. Officials noted that the oil had been offered for sale in an open container, a breach that could jeopardise consumer safety and undermine regulatory compliance.
Kesav Enterprises has not yet released a statement regarding the seizure. The Food Safety Department has warned that any further violations could lead to stricter penalties, including potential revocation of the company’s operating licence.
This enforcement action underscores the department’s commitment to ensuring that food products sold in the state meet safety and quality standards. The investigation is ongoing, and authorities will publish further updates once the inquiry concludes.
