The Odisha government's decision came after a major row that erupted following Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu's claims of the alleged presence of animal fat in the laddoos made at the Tirupati Lord Balaji temple.
The Odisha government on Friday said it has decided to introduce a quality check mechanism for 'Mahaprasad' and ghee being used at the Jagannath temple in Puri.
The Odisha government's decision came after a major row that erupted following Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu's claims of low-quality ghee and alleged presence of animal fat in the laddoos made and distributed at the Tirupati Lord Balaji temple.
Odisha's Law Minister Prithiviraj Harichandan said a food inspector will be appointed at the 12th-century shrine, who will check the quality of materials being used for the preparation of the 'Mahaprasad'.
