During the operation, officials inspected 75 warehouses, lifting 98 enforcement samples and 124 surveillance samples for further testing.

of 1,903 units of expired food items and products found to be misbranded or carrying misleading labels.
In addition, authorities discarded 76 kg of expired and stale food, including rotten vegetables and unsafe consumables.
Following the violations observed, the department issued 32 improvement notices to the concerned units and warned that further non-compliance may attract penalties and stronger legal action.
