Since Tukaram Mundhe became Maharashtra's Food and Drug Administration commissioner, the agency has intensified actions against food adulteration and counterfeit products. Operations include seizing adulterated milk, suspending blood bank licenses, and raiding illicit tobacco makers. A recent crackdown targeted milk vendors in Beed after viral videos showed sealed milk packets being emptied into cans and sold as loose milk without proper licenses. The FDA seized and destroyed milk pouches and is conducting laboratory tests, emphasizing strict enforcement to protect public health.
