Sindh Food Authority Seals Nimco Factories
Previously, Sindh Food Authority sealed two famous Nimco factories. Located in Bufferzone, it was revealed that the conditions of the Nimco factories were extremely unhygienic which led the authorities to seal the production units shut.
The two raided factories are named:
- M/S City Nimco
- M/S Hafiz Yousif Nimco
In business for 10 years, these factories had not just been using dirty utensils and substandard oil but also were infested with mice, cockroaches, lizards and other stray animals (found roaming freely on the premises).
