Mumbai: Maharashtra Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has been taking steps to ensure food safety and maintain food quality standards. From cancelling the licences of various shops for failing to meet food safety requirements to banning junk food within a 50-metre radius of schools, the FDA has been undertaking significant measures to improve food safety across the state.

In a significant step towards improving food hygiene and consumer safety, food vendors at Mumbai's iconic Girgaon Chowpatty have started wearing FSSAI-branded aprons under the Maharashtra Food and Drug Administration (FDA) guidelines. According to the FDA guidelines, strict action will be taken and fines will be imposed on food vendors found violating the requirement to wear FSSAI aprons.
