Patanjali Ghee Among ₹9 Crore Food Stock Seized By Maharashtra FDA
What Happened
Maharashtra FDA seized ₹9.01 crore worth of food products from 114 establishments during a festive-season crackdown. The haul included ₹20.20 lakh of Patanjali cow ghee, seized on suspicion of misbranding and adulteration. The drive also led to 19 licence/registration suspensions, 13 FIRs and 16 arrests.
Key Takeaways
The action was part of a wider statewide food-safety drive, not a crackdown on Patanjali alone.
