*Maharashtra Mein Khule Masalon Ki Bikri Par Rok, Milawat Karne Walon Ko 7 Saal Tak Jail Aur ₹10 Lakh Tak Jurmana.*

Maharashtra mein masalon mein milawat rokne ke liye Food and Drug Administration (FDA) ne sakht niyam lagu kiye hain.

15 October 2026 ko jaari aadesh ke mutabik, haldi, laal mirch, dhaniya, jeera, kaali mirch, garam masala aur doosre spice powders ko khula aur bina packing ke bechne par rok lagayi gayi hai. Ab masalon ko bikri aur distribution se pehle banane ki jagah par hi sahi tarah pack aur seal karna zaroori hoga.

FDA Commissioner Tukaram Mundhe ne masala karobariyon ko niyamon ka sakhti se paalan karne ki hidayat di hai. Masalon mein Metanil Yellow, Rhodamine B, Sudan dyes aur Lead Chromate jaise gair-manzur rang milane par rok hai. Isi tarah masalon ka wazan badhane ke liye eent ka powder, chalk, lakdi ka burada ya doosre gair-manzur padarth milane walon par bhi karwai hogi. Kam quality ke masale milana aur jin masalon se pehle hi zaroori extracts nikaal liye gaye hon, unhe masalon ke naam par bechna bhi niyamon ke khilaaf hai.

FDA ke aadesh ke mutabik, masalon ko sadkon, naaliyon, kachre ke dabbon ya jaanwaron ke shed ke paas sukhane ki ijazat nahi hogi. Masale banane aur store karne ki jagah saaf, sukhi aur keede-makodon se mehfooz honi chahiye. Masale banane aur peesne wale karobariyon ke paas zaroori FSSAI licence ya registration hona chahiye.

Packaging par product ka naam, ingredients, manufacturer ki jaankari, FSSAI number, batch number aur packing ya manufacture ki tareekh ke saath zaroori details dena bhi laazmi hai.

Masalon ko sterilise karne ke liye ethylene oxide ka istemaal bhi mana hai.

Batadein ki Is aadesh ka paalan sirf dukandaron ko nahi, balki manufacturers, wholesalers, distributors, online sellers, hotels, restaurants aur doosre food businesses ko bhi karna hoga.

Niyamon ki khilaafwarzi par masale zabt kiye ja sakte hain, bikri roki ja sakti hai, market se products wapas mangaye ja sakte hain aur licence suspend ya cancel hone ke saath court mein case bhi chal sakta hai.

Food Safety and Standards Act ke Section 59 ke mutabik, agar unsafe food bechne se kisi ki maut hoti hai, to use khaas jurm mein kam se kam 7 saal se lekar umar qaid tak ki saza aur kam se kam ₹10 lakh jurmane ka pravdhan hai.

Yeh saza har tarah ki niyam todne ki ghatna par ek jaisi lagu nahi hoti; saza jurm ki nature aur uske asar par depend karti hai.

FDA ne saaf kiya hai ki jaanch sirf retail dukandaron tak mehdood nahi rahegi, balki milawat ka source pata lagane ke liye manufacturers aur supply chain ke doosre logon ki bhi jaanch hogi.

*Tukaram Mundhe ki is chetavni par aap kya kehte h comments kar k zarur batadein aur khabaro k liye Galli news par bane rahiye.*
