The team also collected eight samples of oil from the spot which are being sent for testing. Currently, the firm has been banned from doing business until the oil report comes.

FSDA Assistant Commissioner Vijay Pratap Singh had received information that various brands of edible oils were being sold adulterated with other substances at Lakshmi Traders located on Campbell Road. When the team raided it, refined soybean oil (Urja brand), refined rice bran oil (Kamal brand), mustard oil (Sampoorna brand) and sesame oil (Metro brand) were recovered.

Two or more different edible oils are mixed in it. While packaging, the quantity of oil added has to be mentioned regularly.
