Madhya Pradesh bans analog paneer production and sale
The Story in Brief
The Story in Brief
Madhya Pradesh has banned the production, sale and use of analog paneer, citing health concerns. Chief Minister Mohan Yadav made the announcement on Wednesday. The product is a cheaper substitute for natural-milk paneer, made using vegetable fats and starch. Madhya Pradesh is the fourth state after Maharashtra, Gujarat and Chhattisgarh to impose such a ban.
The Indian Opinion
This should separate honest makers from cheats. Real paneer costs more; crackdown is fine if states enforce labelling instead of blanket bans that hurt small businesses. Watch if FSSAI tests for protein content and tells consumers what 'analogue' means on packets.
