Swiggy and Amazon Face FSSAI Penal Action Over Prohibited Food Sales

The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) initiated penal action against Swiggy Instamart, Amazon, BigBasket, Flipkart, and Zepto.

Regulators cited multiple non-compliance issues including misleading product claims and the sale of prohibited food items. Specific violations involved the sale of toxic Datura fruits and seeds on several platforms.

Swiggy Instamart and BigBasket face additional scrutiny for misleading claims regarding dairy products. This enforcement drive marks a broader effort by the FSSAI to ensure e-commerce companies strictly follow national food safety regulations.
