Maharashtra’s Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and Navi Mumbai Police seize food products including Maggi, Lay’s and Kurkure in a crackdown on an alleged labelling and expiry date tampering racket in Navi Mumbai. Officials say the confiscated items include snacks and noodles, with seizure value reported at Rs 75.21 lakh.
According to reports, inspectors find expiry dates and other details on packaging were altered, including ingredients and nutrition labels. Times of India adds that the action follows the dismantling of the scheme linked to Sadhana Enterprises, including suspension of its licence. Investigations are underway after an FIR is filed.
Different outlets focus on the scope and nature of the alleged fraud: NDTV emphasises tampering with expiry and labelling information, while Mint lists examples of the brands and product types seized. Times of India highlights the joint operation and the procedural steps taken, including licence suspension and initiation of further inquiry.
