Inspections, enforcement, recalls and court developments from across India.
The Indian Express reports recall orders following pesticide-residue findings in Shalimar’s Chef coriander powder and unsatisfactory cadmium results in carrageenan. This concerns the affected products, not a general ban on coriander or carrageenan. Report published 14 September; the original recall-order dates were not independently verified.
The report links seven-day advance intimation and licensed-caterer checks for Ganpati community meals to Maharashtra FDA SOPs issued on 3 September. Treat this as reported local directions, not a new nationwide rule; the article says the precise penalty provision is unconfirmed.
Reuters reports that an order issued on 10 September asks the government for a clear implementation pathway within 10 days. This is a court development, not a final notified labelling rule.
