FDA raids cause butter shortage in Pune

FDA raids cause butter shortage in Pune

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has been conducting raids on eateries in Pune, Maharashtra.

While many restaurant owners appreciate the FDA's efforts to ensure food safety, some are facing a shortage of butter.

This is because eateries that previously used adulterated milk and butter are now buying genuine products, leading to a supply crunch.

Shapoor Irani, the owner of Cafe Yezdan, mentioned that his restaurant is facing a butter shortage due to increased demand.

The distributor has informed that they will not have butter for a week, which could become a big problem for restaurants.
