@DFCAJHARKHAND@JhUpdate@JharkhandCMO Kudos to Maharashtra FDA chief Tukaram Mundhe for stepping up action against fake paneer and adulterated khoya ahead of the festive season. Jharkhand’s Food Safety Department must launch a similar statewide drive. People of Jharkhand deserve safe, pure food too. @FSSAI_India
NEWS: The irrepressible @Tukaram_IndIAS and his Maharashtra FDA team at it again! Ahead of Ganesh Chaturthi, approximately 10 tonnes of suspected fake paneer and around 5,000 kg of suspected adulterated khoya seized in a raid in Pune's Shukrawar Peth area. (next we need a bureaucrat with a spine who will break the neta-official-builder nexus👍🙏)

Alert #Hyderabadi ⚠️, Just imagine how Harmful #Chemical -laced #Adulterated#Spices , such as Cloves , Shahjeera, Saunf , Mustard .., we having everyday, busted by #HFAST
VC Sajjanar, #Hyderabad Police Commissioner, Demonstrated how to spot #AdulteratedSpices :
The CP placed adulterated and pure Cloves, Shahjeera, Fennel Seeds (Saunf) into separate transparent glasses filled with water.
The water containing the adulterated, chemically-coated spices changed color immediately, whereas pure spices did not.
Genuine cloves and seeds feel rough and natural, while chemical-coated adulterated feel unnaturally smooth.
Task Force and H-FAST (Hyderabad Food Adulteration Surveillance Team) DCP, Vaibhav Gaikwad showed certain Adulterated Mustard Seeds not lose colour even after mixing in water and said:
At one of the manufacturing facilities, low-quality and rejected mustard stocks were adulterated by mixing fabric dye, talcum powder, and oil to enhance the spice’s gloss, weight, and overall volume.
In other units, spices such as cloves and shahjeera were found coated with synthetic colours to give them a bright and premium appearance. Permanent industrial dyes were used to adulterate Cloves, Shahjeera, Saunf, and several other essential spices.
The accused said that they learnt of the adulteration methods from Indore (Madhya Pradesh), Sajjanar said.
Holding a sachet used for adulterating mustard seeds, Mr. Sajjanar said ‘poisonous and non-edible’ was written on it.

The exemplary work carried out by Shri Tukaram Mundhe as the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Commissioner in Maharashtra deserves to be emulated across the country. Every Indian has the fundamental right to safe, healthy, and high-quality food.
It is time for the Supreme Court of India to take suo motu cognisance of this issue and direct FDA authorities across all states to adopt the same level of commitment, transparency, and strict enforcement demonstrated by Shri Tukaram Mundhe.
The time has also come to ask a serious question of all former FDA Commissioners in Maharashtra, as well as FDA Commissioners across India: What concrete steps have you taken to ensure that citizens receive safe and quality food? If one officer can demonstrate that strict, prompt, and effective enforcement is possible, why has such action not become the norm throughout the country?
Food safety is not a privilege—it is a basic right of every citizen. Those entrusted with protecting public health must be held accountable for ensuring that adulteration, contamination, and unsafe food practices are dealt with swiftly and decisively. Every Indian deserves access to safe, healthy, and quality food.
Panic in Satara: Milk Collectors Dump Hundreds of Litres on Road Over FDA Raid Rumor
A mere rumor of an impending Food and Drug Administration (FDA) raid triggered widespread panic among milk collectors in Satara's Maan taluka. Fearing the strict crackdown initiated by FDA Commissioner Tukaram Mundhe across Maharashtra, frantic operators were seen dumping hundreds of liters of milk directly onto the streets. A video of the shocking incident has since gone viral, further deepening public suspicions regarding rampant milk adulteration in the region.

तुका
आकाशाएव्हढा ?
तेल तूप दूध पनीर पेढे तर सोडा
औषधे आणि ब्लड पण एक्सपायरी असलेले सापडते
ब्लड बँक बंद झाल्यात 🤔.
किती साधे नाव आहे
तुकाराम .
रोजच्या व्यवहारात गवंडी प्लम्बर सारखे नाव वाटते
पण याच 4 शब्दांच्या तुकाराम ने
लाखो भेसळ करणाऱ्यांची शब्दशः
गांड फाडलीय .
महाराष्ट्रातल्या काळ्या मातीत सापडलेले अस्सल
32 केरेट चे सोने आहे .
आम्ही नतमस्तक आहोत तुझ्या पुढे
तुकारामा 🙏♥️.
