Bombay HC Denies Relief to Thane Restaurant Over Use of Banned Analogue Paneer
The Bombay High Court refused relief to Thane's Udupi Swaad restaurant after the Maharashtra Food and Drug Administration (FDA) suspended its licence for serving banned analogue paneer, a non-dairy substitute. The court emphasized customers' right to know what they consume and criticized the restaurant for misleading patrons. The FDA's action followed a report declaring the paneer unsafe and substandard. Meanwhile, Karnataka also banned analogue paneer production and sale for one year to protect public health.
