Businessman Faizal Asif Iqbal Alli has denied the allegations of malpractice levelled against him by the Government Analyst-Food and Drug Department (GA-FDD) after it refused the entry of four containers of food imports and he has threatened legal action against the entity.

This was disclosed yesterday via a letter from his attorney, Anil Nandlall, which was addressed to the Director of GA-FDD Marlon Cole.

“I am to inform you that my client specifically and categorically denies each and every allegation which you have made against him and the products which he has imported. I am instructed that my client has been importing a wide variety of food items, beverages and other consumables on a large-scale basis, for over a decade and with the exception of a singular incident, has never been the subject of such allegations,” Nandlall wrote in the letter.
