FSSAI suspends license of Switz Foods
The FSSAI has suspended the license of Switz Foods Pvt. Ltd. due to severe hygiene violations, including pest infestations and improper food handling. The company must cease all operations until it rectifies these safety deficiencies to the regulator's satisfaction.
Why it matters
This enforcement action underscores the role of food safety regulators in protecting public health and maintaining industry standards.
Food regulator FSSAI has suspended the licence of Switz Foods Pvt. Ltd. due to violations of food safety rules at its manufacturing unit.
In a social media post on Saturday (August 1, 2026), the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) said it has suspended the licence of Switz Foods following "serious non-compliances" observed during the inspection of its manufacturing unit.
"Food was being manufactured, packed and stored in unhygienic conditions, posing a high risk of contamination and compromising food safety," the FSSAI said.
Hence, the regulator said the FSSAI licence has been suspended.
Further, the FSSAI has asked the company to immediately cease all food business activities until it rectifies all deficiencies and comply with the rules to the satisfaction of the competent authority under the FSS Act, 2006.
Elaborating on the default, the FSSAI pointed out that the overall cleaning and sanitation of the premises were unsatisfactory.
