Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) has issued nine notices to Swiggy Instamart following multiple consumer complaints alleging violations under the Food Safety and Standards Act 2006.

In a social media post, FSSAI said that the Food Business Operator has been directed to submit a detailed explanation and compliance report, failing which appropriate legal action will be initiated. Consumer complaints alleged the supply of expired, spoiled, rotten, contaminated and otherwise unsafe food products through Swiggy Instamart.

The Food Regulator’s notices also raised concerns over incorrect, invalid or non-existent licence numbers and food business entities allegedly operating under names different from those registered with FSSAI.
