On Friday, Food and Drug Administration (FDA) agents seized a total of 1,121 kg of sweets imported into Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar from Gujarat, according to a report.

The FDA confiscated the goods in two separate operations, with a combined value of ₹1,92,710. The action was part of the 'Safe Food, Safe Maharashtra' campaign, conducted by Food Safety Officer Kirtika Zhade and Food Safety Officer (Vigilance) SA Kedar.
During the first operation, 720 kg of stock, valued at ₹1,24,540, was seized from Seva Singh Harmohansingh Sabarwal. This stock included 148 kg of 'Premium Dessert' (Ganesha Company), 358 kg of 'Delicious Sweet' (Krishna Company), and 214 kg of Halwa (Krishna Company). The goods were allegedly destined for Jalna and Parbhani.
In the second operation, 401 kg of stock, valued at ₹68,170, was seized from Sagar Somesh Limbore of M/s Varad Trading. This stock consisted of 268 kg of 'Delicious Sweet' (Siddheshwari Company) and 133 kg of 'Sweet Halwa' (Shri Shyam Company). The sweets were brought to Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar for resale.
Samples from both seized stocks have been sent to a laboratory for testing.
