Pune authorities have seized four truckloads of potentially adulterated paneer and khoya during a special crackdown ahead of the Ganeshotsav festival, according to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The massive operation, led by Commissioner Tukaram Mundhe, resulted in the detention of 10,000 kg of suspect paneer and 5,000 kg of fake khoya.
The seized items will undergo further testing at laboratories, while investigators probe the source and quality of these dairy products. The intensified scrutiny coincides with the rising demand for sweets and dairy products during the Ganeshotsav celebrations. This move comes as Pune ranks 12th nationally in the 2026 Clean Air Survey, attaining a score of 183 out of 200.
The FDA has also suspended the licenses of three hotels in Pune—Sairat Biryani in Koregaon Park, Hotel Shahi in Malkapur, and Saber Restaurant in Lonavala—for alleged violations of food safety and hygiene regulations.
