FSSAI Takes Action Against Food Businesses for Labelling and Quality Violations
The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) has taken enforcement actions against multiple food businesses for violations. It suspended Westend Agro Products' licence after finding altered manufacturing and expiry dates, misleading labels including false 'organic' claims, and equipment used for relabelling. Separately, FSSAI penalised Sopan Restaurant for selling sub-standard food in a train pantry car. Additionally, a large-scale racket involving recycling expired branded food was uncovered by Delhi Police, with FSSAI seizing thousands of compromised packets. These cases highlight ongoing challenges in food safety enforcement.
