Egypt seizes biscuit plant over illegal charcoal
Egyptian authorities in Qalyubia Governorate have successfully seized an unlicensed biscuit factory that uses charcoal instead of cocoa to give the product its black color. During the raid, approximately 1.8 tons of raw materials and products unfit for consumption were found, including expired items and materials of unknown origin. It was revealed that the factory was producing various types of biscuits, including products bearing the "Oreo" brand, and was using unauthorized substances such as charcoal to enhance color, without any documentation proving the source or safety of these materials. This discovery highlights the health risks associated with the use of unsafe ingredients and underscores the need for continuous oversight of food establishments to ensure consumer safety.
