Thane FDA Seizes ₹7.3L Stock, Six Arrested

The FDA's Thane division ran a special enforcement drive on May 27, 2026, seizing adulterated and sub-standard food stocks worth over ₹7,30,000 and arresting six people.

The six arrests were specifically linked to the sale of banned gutkha and scented tobacco. Confiscated goods spanned a wide range: edible oil, farsan, ghee, hakka noodles, toddy, sherbet, and gum arabic, a sweep that signals this was no single-target raid.

Bas, the message is clear: Thane FDA is not limiting crackdowns to street-level tobacco. Everyday pantry staples are under the scanner too.
