Testing Times
Baba Ramdev’s Patanjali Ayurveda is in trouble yet again. Defence canteens have stopped stocking Patanjali’s Amla juice after it “failed to clear a laboratory test and was found unfit for consumption”. The Ministry of Defence’s canteen stores have cancelled the sale of the product in all its depots across the country as soon as the report came out. It has also sent a show cause notice to the company seeking an explanation. Patanjali Ayurveda, meanwhile, has asked for a test to be conducted as per the norms of the AYUSH Ministry, as the product, according to the company, is an Ayurvedic medicine.
