A mobile court has fined the owner of Pusti soybean oil Tk 7.5 million for rebottling expired edible oil.
Rapid Action Battalion and Bangladesh Standards and Testing Institution jointly conducted a drive on Pusti producer Super Oil Refinery Limited’s factory at Siddhirganj in Narayanganj near Kanchpur Bridge on Sunday (May 5).
RAB’s Executive Magistrate Sarwoer Alam led the drive that started at 9am and continued till 7am.
Alam said that about 80 percent of the chemicals used in Pusit’s quality control lab were also found to have expired years ago.
It’s truly unbelievable and pathetic, he added.
