The Maharashtra Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued an order aimed at curbing the sale and repackaging of expired food items, following concerns raised by officials over improper disposal practices.
Speaking at a press conference on October 30, Mr. Mundhe said stale and expired food items were allegedly not being destroyed properly and were being “disposed of only on paper.” He claimed that some agents were repacking these goods and sending them back into the market.
According to the remarks, there were also instances in which production dates were allegedly altered. The matter appears to be under scrutiny as the FDA moves to tighten action against such practices.
