At the event, Tukaram Mundhe broke a laddu in half to inspect its quality firsthand
Ahead of Diwali, Maharashtra Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Commissioner Tukaram Mundhe has gone viral for his commitment to food safety. At a public function in Pune, Mundhe broke a laddu in his hands to personally inspect its quality. This act of transparency was met with widespread approval as social media users praised Mundhe's dedication to ensuring the safety and honesty of food products.
The event was part of the Poona Merchants Chamber's initiative to provide subsidized Diwali snacks to all sections of society at reasonable prices. In addition to his live demonstration, Mundhe emphasized the importance of vigilance against adulterated and substandard food items, especially during the festive season. The FDA has also issued a safety advisory urging consumers to be cautious of potentially harmful products and has seized approximately 1,190 kg of laddus and related goods worth ₹1.73 lakh from a Pune manufacturing unit due to excessive food coloring and unhygienic conditions.
