Mumbai: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is rigorously pursuing those in violation of the Food and Safety Act, with the formation of 13 specialised teams tasked with inspecting sweet shops across Mumbai’s 13 zones and gathering samples for subsequent laboratory analysis. “We have undertaken a stringent drive against substandard and adulterated food materials, especially sweets, edible oil, namkeen, mawa and khoya, as the Diwali festival is around the corner,” said Shailesh Adhao, Joint Commissioner (Food), FDA. Moreover, if anyone is caught selling adulterated, impure or substandard edible goods, he would face strict action under the provisions of the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI). Adhao further said that the drive against adulteration, spurious colours, substandard materials and spurious raw materials would continue in future. “If the collected samples are found unsafe and injurious to health, imprisonment up to three months and a fine would be imposed. If substandard material is found, the adjudicating officer can slap Rs2-5 lakh fine depending upon severity and profitability,” the FDA official added.
