Patanjali Food Gets Clean Chit On Wild Honey Batch As Kargil Lifts Ban

Patanjali Foods Ltd. on Thursday said the Food Safety authority in Kargil, Ladakh, has revoked its earlier order banning the sale of a specific batch of the company’s organic wild honey, effective immediately.

The company said the decision followed a report from the referral laboratory, which confirmed that the batch complies with the Food Safety and Standards (Contaminants, Toxins and Residues) Regulations, 2011, and is safe for consumption.

In March, Patanjali had disclosed that the Kargil authority had imposed a prohibition order on the batch based on initial lab results. However, the order was open to review pending the outcome of testing at a referral laboratory.
