Maharashtra’s Food and Drug Administration has seized health supplements, nutraceuticals and other food items in a statewide enforcement drive. Officials say the action targets products that include ingredients whose approvals have been rejected by India’s Food Safety and Standards Authority (FSSAI), and that some manufacturers allegedly produced items without required product approvals.
Across reports, the crackdown is described as part of the state’s “Safe Food, Safe Maharashtra” initiative. One outlet highlights that a large portion of the seized stock was found at Kanchan Pharma Pvt Ltd’s warehouse in Bhiwandi, while another reports a broader Mumbai focus as well as inspections across multiple Maharashtra divisions. The second outlet also includes details of raids on pan shops in several areas and lists examples of prohibited products reported to have been found.
Both accounts describe the ingredients at the centre of the action as Magnesium Acetyl Taurate and Nicotinamide Mononucleotide (NMN), and state that samples are sent for laboratory analysis to determine whether items are substandard, unsafe or misbranded. Reported total seizure values differ between outlets.
