Mumbai, July 17 -- The Maharashtra Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) crackdown on food safety has reached another iconic Mumbai institution, with the licence of the 110-year-old Parsi Dairy Farm at Marine Lines suspended over alleged hygiene and food safety violations. During an inspection on Wednesday, the FDA's food inspectors found multiple alleged violations, such as mould growth on the walls of milk production areas, poor sanitation, improper storage of raw materials, absence of pest-control measures, lack of an effluent treatment system, incomplete medical records of food handlers, and inadequate product labelling, including missing expiry dates, according to a press note. Inspectors also found raw milk stored along mould-infested walls, a high infestation of houseflies, inadequate preventive nets for rodents and insects, lack of transfer vehicle cleaning details, lack of an effluent treatment plant, and the absence of expiry date details on many products. The outlet has been barred from production, storage, sale and distribution of food products until further orders. The FDA also inspected the company's manufacturing unit at Palghar, where officials seized dairy products worth Rs.32.1 lakh, including butter, paneer and unlabelled colostrum. Samples have been sent for laboratory analysis. The action is the latest in a series of high-profile inspections launched since IAS officer Tukaram Mundhe took charge as FDA commissioner in May. In recent weeks, the authority has suspended the licences of popular restaurants such as Noor Mohammadi, Shalimar, Rahmania, and K Rustom & Co Ice Cream Parlour, citing alleged food safety and hygiene violations. The FDA has seized food stock worth over Rs.1.9 crore during special enforcement drives conducted across the state from July 14-16, targeting dairy units, food manufacturers, hotels, restaurants, and other businesses....
