Food safety enforcement in India
Overview
Food safety authorities in various Indian districts, including Indore, Ranchi, and Dhar, have intensified inspections and enforcement actions to prevent food adulteration and ensure hygiene, particularly ahead of festivals.
In Indore, officials shut down Shri Shyam Food Agency after discovering it lacked proper registration and was producing mawa by replacing milk fat with skimmed milk powder and vegetable oil. Authorities also identified severe hygiene violations at Marblo Food Product and collected multiple samples for laboratory testing.
In Ranchi, officials mandated that all entities involved in the production or sale of paneer obtain mandatory registration. Similarly, in Dhar, authorities conducted inspections of dairy farms and sweet manufacturers, collecting 34 samples for testing and destroying expired products. Some establishments in Dhar received improvement notices for hygiene deficiencies, while others faced legal proceedings for operating without valid registration.
