The Maharashtra Food and Drug Administration confiscated food items worth ₹63.45 crore in a pre‑Diwali raid, citing safety and quality concerns.
The Maharashtra Food and Drug Administration (FDA) seized food stock valued at ₹63.45 crore during a pre‑Diwali inspection.
The raid, carried out by the FDA’s enforcement wing, targeted a batch of food items that were found to be non‑compliant with the state’s safety and quality standards.
Officials said the confiscation was part of a broader effort to prevent the circulation of potentially unsafe products during the festive season.
The seized goods were seized from a storage facility in Maharashtra before they could reach the market.
The FDA has urged manufacturers to adhere strictly to food safety regulations to avoid similar actions in the future.
