RECORDER REPORT

LAHORE: Punjab Food Authority has formulated law for imported products by taking Federal Bureau of Revenue (FBR) on board. This initiative is taken after confiscating expired imported products from several renowned stores.

According to new law, PFA has imposed ban on sale of the imported product with less than half expiry life after clearance procedure.

PFA Spokesman said that PFA has rolled up the sleeves to ensure availability of quality imported products at stores. He said that PFA has served warning notices to several stores found selling expired imported products.

As per formulated laws, import license of violating companies will be cancelled in case of failing to comply with laws. The need for devising this law emerged on the one hand when expired imported products were recovered by PFA in massive quantity and on the other hand, some of the expired products were found with altered dates of expiry in order to deceive the consumers.
