Maharashtra suspends licenses over health violations
The Food Safety Authority of Maharashtra, India, announced a widespread crackdown on the food and fast-moving consumer goods sector. The campaign included suspending the licenses of 12 warehouses belonging to companies such as "Eternal" (Blynkit), "Sujji," and "Zipto" after uncovering the widespread presence of pests and unsanitary conditions, such as accumulated garbage, cockroaches, and significantly poor hygiene standards. The operation involved inspecting 86 facilities and closing several branches of major companies, along with issuing notices for improvements, in order to strengthen food safety after a period of weak oversight. The companies involved are among the largest investors in the sector, which is valued at around $13 billion and supplies millions of orders daily. However, photographs and reports in the media exposed risks of contamination and deteriorating storage conditions, leading to consumer displeasure and calls for comprehensive inspection campaigns across the city.
