FDA Commissioner Tukaram Mundhe says he identifies fake paneer after a friend orders dinner at a restaurant, prompting him to spot irregularities in the food. He recounts the incident in an interaction with NDTV Profit, describing it as a routine occasion that later revealed concerns about the authenticity of the paneer served.
The report frames Mundhe’s account as an example of how enforcement and attention to food quality can emerge from everyday situations. It does not provide additional corroborating details such as the restaurant’s name, the location, the type of checks used, or any subsequent legal or administrative actions. Other outlets are not presented here, so there is no comparison of differing angles or additional evidence in the supplied material.
