Among the suspended establishments was BJRS (Gallops) Restaurant at Mahalaxmi Racecourse, where FDA officials discovered blood and ketchup stains on ice stored in a refrigerator, damaged packaging, grease accumulation, water stagnation, and live cockroaches and ants. The largest seizure during the drive was made at Gurukrupa Dairy Products in Malad East, where food products and equipment valued at ₹15.15 lakh were seized for allegedly blending refined sunflower oil, vanaspati, and branded ghee to manufacture counterfeit white and yellow ghee.",
