Gupta, who has been serving children at the Trust since her retirement, often receives gifts from various social workers and organizations visiting the residential institution. On this occasion, she does not know who gave her this particular chocolate.
Despite the unpleasant surprise, she has not filed a complaint but expressed concern over such incidents occurring with products from reputed chocolate companies.
Upon learning of the incident, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) conducted a raid on the Eclairs Company Chocolate Agency. They collected samples from M/s Dhanalakshmi in the city, which have been sent to the State Food Laboratory in Bhopal for testing. The FDA will decide on further action based on the test results.
Gupta has kept the chocolate and the false teeth as evidence. She emphasized the seriousness of the issue, noting that such occurrences could erode consumer trust in well-known brands. As a chocolate enthusiast, she found the discovery particularly unsettling and hopes for stricter quality control measures in the future.
