FDA enforcement begins May 1 after industry deadline
Mumbai's Food and Drugs Administration began enforcing mandatory cheese analogue disclosure on May 1, after setting April 30 as the deadline for restaurants, hotels, caterers, and fast food vendors to state cheese analogue use on menus and display boards.
The directive follows FSSAI West Region's Public Notice dated April 22, emphasizing clear disclosure to prevent misleading consumers about processed cheese substitutes.
