Food safety regulators have hardened enforcement with a compliance crackdown across consumer packaged goods, issuing product notices and intensifying inspections at manufacturing and storage units in multiple states.

Officials said the drive targets adulteration and hygiene violations in food processing, packaging and warehousing. Inspection teams are checking manufacturing units and storage facilities for lapses in quality standards.

The crackdown comes amid growing public concern about food safety. Regulators have warned companies that violations will draw strict action, including product recalls and penalties under food safety law.

Consumer packaged goods form a large part of daily household spending in India, from milk and edible oil to snacks and beverages. Officials say cleaner supply chains protect both health and consumer trust.

Industry groups have asked for clear timelines to fix lapses found during inspections. Regulators say the enforcement push will continue in the coming weeks, with more states joining the inspection drive.
