The Islamabad Food Authority (IFA) has sealed Haideri Beverages and Beverages Plus, the main distributor of a famous international beverage brand, located in Humak Model Town, Islamabad.
Sources informed ProPakistani that the raid was conducted without prior notice by the Islamabad Food Authority, in coordination with the ICT Assistant Commissioner, following reports of serious food safety violations.
Sources reported that during the inspection, officials discovered expired and fungus-infested sugar allegedly used in the production of beverages.
The inspection team documented four major violations of food safety regulations, including blatant non-compliance with earlier instructions issued by the Islamabad Food Authority; approximately 150 sugar bags with tampered expiry dates, indicating false labeling; cockroach infestation on sugar bags; and sugar stored directly on the floor, in violation of hygiene and safety standards.
Sources further said that food authority staff collected two separate samples of spilled sugar for laboratory analysis.
Pending the test results, authorities took action by sealing a staggering 54,874 sugar bags across both facilities.
In addition, entire warehouses were sealed, and all production, sale, and purchase activities were immediately suspended until further notice.
Officials said the expired sugar alone is worth millions of rupees.
It’s surprising that ProPakistani has written the name Pepsi, usually they only say famous bakery, store or industry.
i think they did first time in history
Expired sugar?!?! Sugar does not expire. It can become unsafe to use if not stored properly.
So that it the reason you get the Pepsi distribution from Islamabad, it’s rate is less as compared to other Punjab distributors. In the market you get two types of flavours, one that tastes like fake and the other is the fine one.
Good job
Why not mention it’s Pepsi… You fear about it why?
Haideri Beverages is Pepsi then Beverages Plus is Coca-Cola?
It is very strange that sugar also gets expired. Normally caking takes place in sugar if there is moisture.
Kaam check karo propakistani ky
Pehlay likha Pepsi aur us ky baad likha famous international brand.
