Assam Floods Patanjali allegedly distributes expired food products as relief

Businessman Ramdev Baba aka Yoga Guru Ramdevs company Patanjali has allegedly distributed expired products to people affected by floods in Assam as per media reports.

A local news channel in Assam, Time 8, has claimed that many Patanjali goods worth Rs 12 lakh had expiry dates on them.

“Patanjali has distributed expired/about to be expired food items to flood affected people of Majuli in Assam,” the channel claimed, adding that many people have complained about food poisoning after the food products.

“When we asked the company’s representative in Majuli, they admitted there were some old products with them, but said those were not been distributed among people affected by the floods,” Majuli deputy commissioner Pallav Gopal Jha told Hindustan Times. The administration has launched an inquiry.

Last week, the Delhi High Court ordered Patanjali to stop airing TV ads for its soaps. The Court decision came after consumer goods major Reckitt Benckiser approached the court saying that Patanjali had allegedly disparaged its soap brand - Dettol.
