FDA crackdown on adulteration leads to paneer shortage in Pune eateries

Pune, June 12 ( UNI): A sustained crackdown by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) against food adulteration appears to be having a significant impact on the market, with adulterated food products gradually disappearing from circulation.
One noticeable consequence of the ongoing enforcement drive is the sudden scarcity of paneer in hotels, restaurants and roadside eateries across several parts of Pune. Dishes made from paneer, which until recently featured prominently on menu cards, have reportedly vanished from many establishments.
While business owners have attributed the situation to a shortage of supply, industry observers believe the development is linked to the FDA's intensified action against adulterated dairy products.
