UI recently ordered a paneer dish from very big and well known restaurant chain in Mumbai. Did the iodine test to confirm if the paneer was real or the fake one. It turned out to be fake.
Im so frustrated at this point. Almost every basic aspect of our society from food, water, air is compromising our health and we should be demanding better quality of life hence i want to start take action against such restaurants.
Can someone let me know what legal action i can take against the restaurant chain for selling fake paneer despite mentioning paneer on their menu.

UName and shame the restaurant on social media. Tag Fssai and thefoodpharmer and ask for his help. He is the best bet to bring in some reforms!

CIt is not considered a Fake Paneer as per FSSAI.
Officially there are two versions of Paneer. One is made from dairy and another is from palm oil.
So you cannot take legal action. As Palm Oil Paneer is legal.

UBut do the restaurants mention specifically in the menu that it is palm oil paneer?Nope. That’s a fraud.

UNot a lawyer
You can contact food safety officials locally or raise a complaint on FSSAI grievance portal. Usually food safety inspections coupled can with media coverage can be very effective in these cases, as long as they are not on restraunts’ payroll.-

UThe bigger question is, is it edible/safe to consume? If it’s not actually paneer or an alternative form of it (even by whatever acceptable standards) then it shouldn’t be marketed and sold as an act of deception.

UBut the restaurants don’t mention it anywhere that they use palm oil paneer.I expect the real deal when I order paneer butter masala not the fake one.

SFood adulteration concerns health and public safety, among other issues. Bring your complaint to local government, health department and the Food Safety department of the Central Government. You can file an FIR against the party concerned. You will need to submit details of the incident and evidence you have collected.

R99.99 % paneer i tested from sweet shops/restaurants in my city failed the iodine test. Famous dairy brands packaged paneer were the only ones not adulterated.
Btw the iodine test is for starch adulteration which i’ll say is pretty harmless at this point considering there’s a whole thriving industry of fake paneer made from all sorts of chemicals,oils etc. not requiring any milk at all in some cases.
Anyways i started getting milk directly from the dairy farmers and making paneer myself which is pretty simple. Day and night difference in taste btw.

UConsider Good only if the product is manufactured/processed in their own plant and not in any third party’s(amul sources many things from 3rd party). – advised by a dairy tech engineer friend.
-

WIt should be mentioned there at the back of the pacn where it’s manufactured.
But the easiest way it to make it at home from Amul milk, both Paneer and Ghee. -

UThere is absolutely nothing you can do. Suppose you file a case, that’s just one restaurant with 500 Rupees fine. Laws already exist, there is enforcement and corruption issue. Instead, here is a better solution :-
1. Go to same restaurant for years and build a connect. They won’t cheat. Don’t go to high end restaurants for anything except drinks and potato wedges.
2 . Cook at home. You can hire a cook to make you a grand meal for a day.
Same goes for Pollution. To solve that you need to get a mask, you can’t hope for any social action.
In India, there won’t be a collective moment or any justice. It’s not that people are bad, it’s just that they are tired and have no real powers. Indians are good people to be honest.

RSorry. The govt is busy at this time fighting the biggest calamity known to us that we had to form a parliamentary joint commission. Vulgar jokes. That’s right. It is against the culture.
We will come back to these small matters later on if we have time. -

UWe’re you the one recorded a video in like airport lounge and did iodine test and checked for starch lol 😂and I think you also made them write something in comment for some thing 😂
