Adulterated Sweets Unsold In Nepal
By KTM Metro Reporter
September 7, 2011: Department of Commerce along with the Consumers’ Protection Forums have started off checking the sweets stores and their factories after the Nepal media has aggressively reported the sale of adulterated sweets and a number of complaints from the consumers. They have found some ‘gundpak’ stores in Kathmandu have been producing it from other leftovers sweets, and the factories have been terribly unhygienic. They have stopped two stores from selling ‘gundpak’ and closed the factories.
Unlike in the previous years, Nepalis have not bought sweets during the festivals such as Father’s Day and Teej: Women Festival in Nepal, as the Nepalese media has aggressively reported the adulterated sweets. In the previous years, sweet stores had had hard time to cope with the demands of customers for sweets but this year all the sweet stores have large quantities of unsold sweets.
Some fathers have opted for any other gifts rather than eating the adulterated sweets and spoil their health on the Father’s Day whereas most of the women have opted for enjoying the foods at the catering services rather than eating the multi-color sweets said to be adulterated during the women only festival called Teej.
