FSSAI takes enforcement action against two food businesses, suspending the Delhi-based Marche Retail’s licence and restraining Daman-based SDP Industries from selling certain ghee products. The suspension follows findings of food safety and compliance issues during inspection and follow-up scrutiny, while laboratory results for SDP Industries indicate non-compliance in its ghee.
Across outlets, Marche Retail’s case is linked to hygiene, documentation and operational lapses identified by FSSAI inspectors. Business Line and NDTV report that the action is based on serious non-compliances and inspection-linked findings, while Times of India adds that the broader enforcement environment includes many notices to major food companies, with seizures and warehouse licence cancellations.
Regarding SDP Industries, all sources agree that ghee is involved and that lab tests flagged concerns such as adulteration or the presence of foreign fats. Mint specifies that the suspension lasts 30 days for Marche Retail and that SDP Industries is restrained from selling named ghee brands, including “Shraddha,” “Shree Saras” and “Gokul.” Times of India refers more generally to the ban after foreign fats are detected, without listing product names.
