Delhi's Marche Retail faces FSSAI action; license suspended over hygiene, training lapses
FSSAI said Marche Retail was found operating with deficiencies relating to design, operational controls, sanitation, personal hygiene, etc
The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) has suspended the license of Marche Retail Pvt Ltd, New Delhi, and issued a prohibition order against Daman-based SDP Industries Pvt Ltd for selling ghee products. The regulator found serious non-compliance during inspections and subsequent scrutiny of the food business premises.
Marche Retail's license was suspended for 30 days, requiring the company to cease all food business activities and rectify mistakes. SDP Industries' multiple ghee products, including brands like Shraddha, Shree Saras, and Gokul, were found non-compliant with the Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006. The regulator detected A-sitosterol, a plant sterol that should be absent in ghee, as well as fatty acid composition issues.
SDP Industries has been directed to stop selling all ghee variants immediately and ensure prohibited products are not placed in the market until further notice.
