Food safety authorities in the Raigarh district of Chhattisgarh have cracked down on quality violations by prohibiting the sale of specific manufacturing batches of Fortune Maida and Jain Chuski Tea. The Food and Drug Administration declared the affected lots unsafe for human consumption after accredited laboratory testing detected pesticide residues far above the legally permitted thresholds. Following the findings, regulatory officials issued strict directives to vendors and distributors to suspend transactions immediately, isolate the inventory, and prevent any further distribution to local consumers.
Complete Market Recall Ordered for Flagged Lots
In response to the laboratory confirmations, the food safety department instructed all distributors, wholesalers, and retail shopkeepers to pull the affected items from retail circulation at once. Companies responsible for these goods must conduct an immediate recall of every unsold package from the supply pipeline. The regulatory intervention targets two exact production lots: Fortune Maida bearing batch number FAMD55O059A and Jain Chuski Tea marked with batch number CH 653 175. Enforcement officers have been directed to ensure that these specific products are thoroughly segregated to avoid inadvertent public consumption.
Pesticide Chlorpyrifos Exceeds Permissible Threshold in Fortune Maida
The scrutinized flour batch was produced by M/s Aniruddh Food Limited, located in Karwat village, Post Dandi, Chandauli tehsil, Uttar Pradesh. Bearing batch code FAMD55O059A, the flour packets carried a manufacturing date of February 28, 2026, and an expiration date of August 27, 2026. Official scrutiny began after Kali-Labs Private Limited in Bhopal issued an analytical test report dated July 24, 2026. The testing revealed a chlorpyrifos concentration of 0.014 ppm within the sample, which surpasses the maximum regulatory ceiling of 0.01 ppm. Due to this non-compliance with statutory safety parameters, the batch was officially categorized as unsafe.
Jain Chuski Tea Found with Eighteen Times Permissible Acetamiprid Level
A parallel investigation revealed even higher contamination levels in Jain Chuski Tea carrying batch identifier CH 653 175. This tea brand is manufactured and distributed by M/s Jain Traders, situated in Aakriti Vihar, Amlidih, Raipur. A formal laboratory report issued from Kolkata on July 30, 2026, established that the sample contained acetamiprid at a level of 0.18 ppm. The prescribed statutory limit for this substance is fixed at 0.01 ppm, meaning the product contained 18 times the permissible quantity of the chemical pesticide. On the basis of these alarming analytical findings, the administration classified the entire batch as unsafe and outlawed its sale.
