    The Hyderabad Commissioner’s Task Force, along with food safety officers from the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation, raided a factory producing adulterated mouth fresheners (Mukhwas). During the raid, they arrested one person and seized a large quantity of harmful products worth ₹1.20 lakh.

    The arrested man, Kamal Kishor Ojha, a 57-year-old manufacturer and supplier from Chudi Bazaar, was found making and selling these adulterated mouth fresheners. Police confiscated 12 bags of Mukhwas, seven bags of adulterated sugar balls and red color (each bag weighing 25-30 kg), five boxes of Idacol food colors, and one box of Three-Star raspberry red sugar.

    According to the police, Kishor was mixing harmful synthetic colors and unauthorized sweeteners into the mouth fresheners to make them look and taste better. He was doing this without a valid license, violating the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) guidelines. These adulterated products were then sold to stores and hotels in Hyderabad and Secunderabad, putting people’s health at risk.
