The accused, who are yet to be arrested, used to mix residue of fennel seeds, jaggery-water and cream-coloured powder to make the spurious cumin.
A total of 30,260 kilograms of spurious cumin seeds and raw materials were seized from a godown in Unjha, a well-known hub, by the Food and Drugs Control Administration (FDCA) Thursday. Unjha is the biggest market and exporting centre for spices like cumin, fennel seeds, Isabgol and mustard seeds.
