Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Commissioner Tukaram Mundhe said that he has planned a 12-month calendar mapping enforcement action against food adulteration around festivals.
Although he did not provide the details of the plans for now, Mundhe pointed out that the calendar is aimed at making the FDA’s anti-adulteration drive more structured and festival-specific, as food consumption — and the risk of adulteration — rises sharply around major celebrations.
