The Maharashtra Food and Drug Administration’s recent directive on food safety is aimed at monitoring and preventing food adulteration and not to impose any restrictions on festivities, FDA Commissioner Tukaram Mundhe has said.
“We are not regulating festivals; we are ensuring that food served at festivals – just as in weddings, bhandaras, Eid, Christmas, New Year’s Eve events and other gatherings -- is safe and compliant with a law that has existed since 2011,” Mundhe told PTI.
