Maharashtra FDA Plans Digital Traceability to Combat Milk Adulteration
Maharashtra's Food and Drug Administration (FDA), led by Commissioner Tukaram Mundhe, is intensifying efforts to combat food adulteration, particularly in milk. The FDA plans to implement a digital traceability system linking milk production data to individual animals, enhancing monitoring and control. Recent actions include banning analogue paneer and junk food near schools, conducting raids, and increasing testing capacity. While some establishments have challenged these measures legally, the FDA emphasizes systemic solutions to ensure food safety and transparency across the state.
