FDA chief Tukaram Mundhe’s next target – your supplement pills

Maharashtra's Food and Drug Administration (FDA) chief Tukaram Mundhe has announced plans to target nutritional supplements next. Speaking at an event, Mundhe criticized the current nutraceutical market, stating that many products contain misleading claims and unverified ingredients. The FDA's upcoming order will cover all aspects of supplement production, sale, and consumption, including labelling and content testing.

This move comes after the FDA's recent crackdown on adulterated milk, unhygienic restaurants, and unhealthy food options in schools. Mundhe believes that starting with the younger generation will lead to a more comprehensive impact on the population. Despite his young tenure, Mundhe expects challenges and has vowed to remain transparent in his actions, addressing allegations of targeting festivals and food culture.
