In the last few months, FSSAI has cracked down on many energy drink and alcoholic beverage companies for misleading claims and labelling. It has also issued notices to many e-commerce platforms.These actions are based on consumer complaints, suo motu cognisance, and regular enforcement activities of food safety officers.
In Maharashtra, the food licences of five of Mumbai’s elite clubs, the Cricket Club of India (CCI), MIG, RK Juhu ymkhana, Aparna Juhu Gymkhana and Willingdon, were suspended after the FDA said it found severe hygiene and structural issues in their kitchens. Almost all five had issues such as pest infestation, unhygienic storage, structural decay like deteriorated walls and ceilings, and a lack of proper food handler hygiene.
