The UP food safety department has asked state-based 92 manufacturers to recall their products having halal certification, from the market, citing certification from unrecognised organisations.
According to the reports, since the ban on halal food products came into effect on November 18, 92 raids were carried out by the state food safety department in which around 3,000 kg of halal certified products worth approximately Rs 8 lakh have been seized. Further, 81 samples were sent for lab analysis.
The halal certified food items seized include sugar, sauces, rice, oil and bakery products and many such products were also manufactured in other states.
The Government officials say that there are only three organisations in India, including one based in Lucknow, which are registered with the National Accreditation Board for Certification Bodies (NABCB) for giving halal certification to meat and meat products for export. However, there are around 800 organisations that have been issuing halal certificates.
