In yet another worrying case of food adulteration in India, officials from the Gujarat Food Safety Department seized more than 3,500 kilograms of contaminated fennel seeds, commonly known as saunf, during a raid in Unjha.
The action took place at Ganapati Cleaning Factory, where authorities allegedly found fennel seeds being mixed with a non-edible green chemical dye to make the product look fresher and more appealing before being sold in the market.
