Vigilance Officials Seize Adulterated Tea

Kakinada: In a crackdown on food safety violations, regional vigilance officials raided three tea powder repacking wholesale shops in Rajamahendravaram on Wednesday. The raids uncovered a concerning practice – the adulteration of tea with prohibited synthetic food coloring.

During the inspection, officials found the tea powder not only contained illegal colouring but also lacked proper labeling permits from the legal metrology department.

All such adulterated tea powder was seized by the vigilant team.
