The MRP indicated was high compared to the ceiling price fixed for the product by the Central government.
The DCA seized Rudifer tablets (Ferrous Ascorbate, Folic Acid and Zinc tablets) in Hayathnagar as the tablets were falsely manufactured and sold under the guise of food products and nutraceuticals.
