Gujarat bans unauthorised analogue paneer, cheese and butter

Announcing the decision, Pansheriya said the state government would not tolerate any compromise with people's health and that the production and distribution of analogue dairy products had been prohibited across Gujarat. The move follows sampling and laboratory testing conducted by the state's Food and Drug Regulatory Authority, which found that products resembling paneer were being manufactured using vegetable oils and other non-dairy ingredients instead of milk.
