Importer backpedals on legal action against Food and Drug Dep’t

Food importer Aizal Asif Iqbal Alli has signalled his intention to withdraw legal proceedings against the Government Analyst-Food and Drug Department (GA-FDD) for stating that the businessman had imported and disseminated substandard food items, according to Director Marlan Cole.

Cole also says that “several containers for the named importer are currently at the city wharf, and the public is assured that detailed examination will be exacted on all his containers for compliance, before entry is allowed or facilitated.”

These developments were shared by Cole via a press release issued to the media.
