Maharashtra FDA Seizes Edible Oil, Suspends Licences, Inspects Warehouses for Violations
The Maharashtra Food and Drug Administration (FDA) conducted a widespread crackdown on food safety violations across the state, seizing over 1.19 lakh kg of edible oil worth around Rs 1.5-1.9 crore from five units in Beed and suspending their licences. Inspections also targeted warehouses and quick-commerce dark stores, including Amazon's Bhiwandi warehouse and Blink Commerce's Malad facility, uncovering expired products, hygiene issues, and cockroach infestations. The Bombay High Court ordered Amazon to hand over expired goods for disposal. The FDA continues enforcing strict food safety measures statewide.
