The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) has intensified regulatory enforcement against various entities for violating safety and hygiene standards.

Initial actions targeted specific companies in West Bengal, where the licenses of Kailash Formulation and Sanecure Water Project were suspended. Inspections of these facilities revealed deficiencies such as inadequate hygiene, poor waste management, and pest infestations.

Regulatory scrutiny subsequently expanded to major e-commerce platforms, including Amazon, Swiggy Instamart, BigBasket, Flipkart India, and Zepto. The FSSAI initiated penal action against these platforms for issues such as misbranding, misleading claims, and the sale of prohibited or poisonous items, including Datura fruits and seeds.
