Bombay HC Orders Amazon to Hand Over Expired Goods to Maharashtra FDA for Disposal
The Bombay High Court directed Amazon Retail India to hand over all expired and perished goods from its Bhiwandi warehouse to the Maharashtra Food and Drug Authority (FDA) for scientific disposal, with Amazon bearing the costs. This follows the FDA's suspension and cancellation of the warehouse's licence over allegations of distributing expired food. The court also ordered the FDA to file an affidavit by August 27 in response to Amazon's challenge of the licence suspension, while cautioning the FDA against excessive enforcement measures.
