BSTI censures five Gaibandha mills


The Bangladesh Standards and Testing Institute (BSTI) has asked five mills here not to market their products as those are running without BSTI licence.

The mills are Chowdhury Oil Mills, Nitai-Gowrango Oil Mills, Haji Oil Mills, Mitali Oil Mills and Star Soap Factory in the town, BSTI sources said.

A BSTI team from Rajshahi during its recent inspection found that the five mills were also selling their products without BSTI quality control label.

The oil mills are producing edible oil different brands without BSTI licence. This is illegal and further action will be taken if the factory owners do not comply with the order, the sources said.
