· India · The Hindu, ABC News (AU)
Residents in the Godrej Hill area of Kalyan, Maharashtra, have demanded an inspection by the Food and Drug Administration after a video surfaced showing a rat inside an ice cream crate at a quick-commerce delivery hub. The footage has prompted calls for legal action against the facility for alleged violations of food safety regulations. This incident follows a recent crackdown in Mumbai's Malad area, where authorities suspended the license of a facility for poor hygiene, including the presence of expired goods and a lack of pest control. The FDA has not yet announced a specific timeline for an inspection of the Kalyan unit. The facility remains under scrutiny as local authorities review the reported safety lapses.
