Maharashtra FDA Inspects Zepto, Blinkit Dark Stores for Compliance
Imagine some stores called Zepto and Blinkit that deliver groceries really fast.
The government is checking these stores to make sure they're clean and safe.
Last month, some stores were closed because they weren't following the rules.
The inspectors found problems like old food and dirty conditions.
Now, they are checking again to make sure everything is okay and the stores are following the hygiene rules.
The stores had to fix these problems to start operating again.
Maharashtra FDA is inspecting Zepto and Blinkit dark stores.
Inspections are to ensure hygiene standards and compliance.
Both companies had dark stores shut down last month due to violations.
Zepto's Dharavi facility had issues including fungal growth and expired items.
Blinkit's Pune store was operating without a food safety license.
