The action taken by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Maharashtra
against 81 unlicensed or unregistered food business operators (FBOs) in
Nashik district is legal as stated by Mahesh Zagade, the state FDA
commissioner, who added that the agency will not give into the FBOs'
illegal demands.
Chandrakant Pawar, joint commissioner, food, Nashik FDA, said, “After the February 4, 2013 deadline for licensing and registration (which has now been extended by a year), we started a drive to crackdown on all the unlicensed and unregistered eateries in the district, and have collected fines amounting to Rs 2.10 lakh so far.”
When quizzed about the pulling up of FBOs despite the extension to the deadline to February 4, 2014, Pawar said, “We have given them sufficient time to the food business operators to register or obtain licenses, but they continue to be disobedient. Therefore, we will continue to take stringent action against them.
