Mumbai FDA Suspends Ten Eateries, Seizes ₹1.09 Crore in Crackdown

Some of the places included canteens at J J Hospital.
In a separate statewide drive, officials seized prohibited food products and three vehicles.
The total value of those seized goods and vehicles was ₹1.09 crore.
The action led to 13 arrests and 12 police cases.
