Maha: FDA suspends licences of 2 Karachi Sweets manufacturing units in Pune; 93 kg of substandard sweets seized

Pune, Nov 11 (UNI) In a major crackdown under the Maharashtra government's ‘Safe Food, Safe Maharashtra’ campaign, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has suspended the food licences of two Karachi Sweets manufacturing units in Wanowrie area of Pune following raids.
The FDA teams raided M/s Maa Karachi Sweets Mart and M/s Shri Mohan Karachi Sweets Mart on November 10, and seized a total of 93 kg of suspected substandard sweets. Stock worth Rs 50,860 was also destroyed on the spot following the inspection.
During the inspection of Maa Karachi Sweets Mart, officials seized 23 kg of sweets, comprising 18 kg of motichoor laddoos and 5 kg of barfi.
At Shri Mohan Karachi Sweets Mart, the team seized 70 kg of sweets, including 41 kg of motichoor boondi and 29 kg of barfi.
Suspecting that the seized sweets could be of inferior quality or potentially harmful to consumers, the FDA collected samples and sent them to a laboratory for testing. As the seized products were perishable, the entire stock was destroyed on the spot in accordance with the prescribed legal procedure.
Taking serious note of the alleged violations of food safety standards, the FDA immediately suspended the food licences of both manufacturing units.
