The food safety team raided Yameen and Din Muhammad godowns in the vicinity of Dena Nath Phool Nagar and foiled an attempt to supply the stock of expired noodles, spices and chocolates to markets, said a PFA spokesman here .
PFA also seized a truck loaded with 3,000 kg noodles, he said and added that expired food was stored in the warehouses after purchasing at a fairly cheap price from different production units and supplied in the market after changing the expiry dates.
