Maharashtra's Food and Drug Administration suspended the licence of a Parle Agro-linked Velocity Express warehouse in Mumbai after an overnight raid found expired Appy Fizz, Frooti and Candy Juice worth roughly ₹99,970, sealing the facility and detaining two transport vehicles. The inspection ran from 6 pm to 5 am, one of many actions in a broader statewide crackdown.
A single day's sweep of 86 food delivery-linked establishments led to 14 suspended licences — including five each for Blinkit and Zepto — plus 60 improvement notices and one shutdown order, alongside seizure of 698 kg of dairy stock. Separately, officials filed ten FIRs, made nine arrests, and confiscated banned products like pan masala and gutkha worth over ₹46 lakh, while four Domino's outlets run by Jubilant FoodWorks had their licences suspended over hygiene violations.
In total, the department's 15-raid special campaign tallied confiscated goods worth roughly ₹46.9 lakh, plus inspections of 109 restaurants and dhabas that produced 49 improvement notices and four more suspensions.
