Newly appointed Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Commissioner Tukaram Mundhe has launched a statewide crackdown on food adulteration and banned products within days of taking charge. After assuming office on May 25, Mundhe directed officials across Maharashtra to conduct special raids targeting adulterators, illegal gutkha sellers, unhygienic food manufacturers, and establishments violating food safety norms. In just three days, FDA teams carried out 53 raids across Mumbai, Pune, Nashik, Nagpur, Amravati, Konkan and Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar divisions. Authorities found 34 establishments allegedly involved in the sale of banned gutkha and pan masala. A total of 25 FIRs were registered, 33 accused arrested, 5 vehicles seized, and 27 establishments sealed. The biggest action was reported from Mumbai, where 19 establishments were raided and sealed. Officials also seized banned gutkha, flavoured tobacco and illegally packaged products. Apart from tobacco-related products, FDA teams inspected packaged drinking water, milk, edible oil, sweets, spices, paneer, ghee, bakery products and other food items. During the operation, authorities seized suspected adulterated and illegal food products worth ₹28.78 lakh, while samples have been sent for laboratory testing. The large-scale drive signals a tougher enforcement approach under Mundhe's leadership, with the FDA warning strict action against those compromising public health. #TukaramMundhe #FDA #Punetimesmirror #BreakingNews #GutkhaRaid
