As holy month of Ramadan begins, the production and sale of unhygienic samosa pattis and substandard frozen food items flood the market, causing health problems for the masses.
As per details, ARY News’ Sar-e-Aam team, in collaboration with Punjab Food Authority (PFA), uncovered a major operation in Lahore’s Yateem Khana area, where samosa roll pattis were being produced under extremely unhygienic conditions.
Upon entering the facility, the team found a large-scale operation with 40 to 50 workers engaged in production.
The sanitation conditions were deplorable, with workers operating in a foul-smelling environment. Cobwebs covered the walls, flies swarmed over the materials, and the dough for the samosa pattis was being kneaded with bare feet.
Additionally, the ghee used for making the sheets was found to be contaminated with insects and dirt.
