In late July 2026, Madhya Pradesh food‑safety officials in Indore seized about 640 litres of suspected substandard ghee and collected numerous food samples as part of a state‑wide campaign against adulterated products. The seizure was described as a precaution pending laboratory analysis, and authorities warned of legal action under the Food Safety and Standards Act.

A week later, the Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation halted the sale of roughly 1,770 kg of ghee after a laboratory test found the product below standards. Inspectors traced the supply chain, seized over a tonne of the ghee, and notified state food‑safety officers. The corporation announced intensified inspections of food‑business establishments and pledged strict enforcement of food‑safety regulations.

Together, these actions illustrate a coordinated effort by Indian regional authorities to crack down on adulterated or substandard ghee, expanding from isolated seizures to broader market suspensions and heightened regulatory scrutiny.
