UPFSDA Suspends Licenses of Four Online Food Stores Over Safety Violations
The Uttar Pradesh Food Safety and Drug Administration (UPFSDA) launched a state-wide inspection campaign, 'Shuddh Hi Shubh Hai,' targeting online food stores linked to platforms like Blinkit, Zepto, Amazon, Reliance, and Metro. After 149 inspections and 21 food samples collected, licenses of four stores were suspended due to food safety violations, including unhygienic conditions and improper storage. Notably, a Zepto warehouse in Ghaziabad was found with cockroach infestation and poor hygiene. Improvement notices were recommended in 79 other cases to ensure compliance with safety standards.
