Certain fried items such as pakora, jalebi, and samosa became highly popular as iftaar treats during the month of Ramadan. Many vendors take advantage of the surge in demand for these products and set up temporary stalls to sell these products. Unfortunately, many vendors in Faisalabad have been using sub-standard oil to prepare these food items which has led to the spread of many health problems. There is no system of quality control and monitoring to put a halt to these activities.
