Inspectors also gathered three distinct paneer samples for further chemical examination in government laboratories. These specific samples came from Mitha Pitha, Radhe Sweets located in Chandrasekharpur, and Kolkata Ganguram in Niladri Vihar. To guarantee strict compliance with modern hygiene laws, the enforcement team imposed a combined fine of ₹7,000 under Section 69 of the FSS Act. Delhi Sweets, Kolkata Ganguram, and Mahaveer Sweets were formally directed to pay this penalty.
