The Maharashtra FDA suspended the food license of a Blinkit facility in Malad, Mumbai, on August 11, 2026, following the discovery of a cockroach infestation.
Simultaneously, authorities seized sweets from a Reliance Retail outlet in the same region after receiving consumer complaints regarding fungus and larvae in food products.
These enforcement actions highlight a broader crackdown on quick-commerce and retail hygiene standards, with the FDA mandating immediate corrective measures for both companies.
