PESHAWAR: Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Food Safety & Halal Food Authority (KPS&HFA) has discarded around 200kg substandard candies.

A press release said that a team raided a factory in Nishtarabad area on Wednesday, confiscating around 200 kilograms of substandard candies produced in unhygienic conditions. The factory management was also fined. During last week, the Authority sealed several such factories in Peshawar, including those of dairy shops, marts, and spices shops.
