Maharashtra FDA Seizes Adulterated Food Products, Court Upholds Licence Suspension
The Maharashtra Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has intensified inspections across Pune, Kolhapur, Thane, and Palghar districts, seizing over Rs 76 lakh worth of adulterated, misbranded, and banned food products during the festive season. Actions included confiscation of substandard dairy items like paneer, khoya, and butter, with some products destroyed on the spot. In Thane, the Bombay High Court upheld the suspension of a restaurant's licence after tests found non-dairy fat in paneer, confirming the FDA's crackdown on food safety violations.
