Authorities have uncovered an illegal factory producing counterfeit cooking oil and ghee under the names of popular brands inside a residential property in Karachi’s Shadman Town.
The Sindh Food Authority (SFA) and Shahrah-e-Noor Jahan police conducted a joint raid after receiving a tip about illegal manufacturing activities at the property.
According to an SFA spokesperson and police officials, the premises were locked when the raiding team arrived. Authorities gained access to the property, seized the equipment and materials found inside, and sealed the premises.
During the raid, officials recovered counterfeit cooking oil and ghee products carrying the names of well-known brands, including Soya Supreme, Dalda and Habib.
The SFA spokesperson said heavy machinery had been installed inside the house to fill and package cooking oil and ghee.
Authorities also seized substandard loose oil, empty bottles, cartons, branded labels, sealing machines and other packaging materials used in the operation.
Initial investigations suggest that low-quality cooking oil and ghee were being packaged in counterfeit containers bearing the names of established brands before being distributed to shops across Karachi.
Officials said the factory operated during the day and remained closed at night. The SFA and police have sealed the property and initiated legal proceedings against those involved in the illegal operation.
Police said further investigations are underway to determine how long the factory had been operating, identify those responsible and trace the distribution network supplying counterfeit cooking oil and ghee to shops across the city.
