FDA cracks down on puri-making units at Dahisar

Mumbai: The Food and Drugs Administration (FDA) raided Om Sai Foods Company, Dahisar (west), where puris (for pani puri) were being manufactured in filthy conditions using low-quality ingredients.

FDA officials found that the puri manufacturing units functioned out of dingy, smelly rooms in the slums.

Shailesh Adhav, FDA joint commissioner (food), said, “Hygiene standards were completely absent and the working conditions were worse. These units did not even have exhaust fans.”
