The Pune Food and Drug Administration reportedly seized and destroyed 93 kg of sweets from two units in Wanawadi on 10 November 2026 during a food-safety enforcement drive, but the status of the units’ licences remains unclear in the supplied report.
The action was carried out under the “Safe Food, Safe Maharashtra” campaign at Maa Karachi Sweets Mart and Shri Mohan Karachi Sweets Mart, according to Sakal – Pune. The seized stock was valued at Rs 50,860, the report said.
From Maa Karachi Sweets Mart, officials seized 18 kg of motichoor ladoos and 5 kg of barfi, together weighing 23 kg and valued at Rs 15,800. From Shri Mohan Karachi Sweets Mart, the team seized 41 kg of motichoor boondi and 29 kg of barfi. The second seizure amounted to 70 kg and was valued at Rs 35,060.
The FDA team destroyed the seized sweets at the respective premises because they were perishable, according to the report. Samples of the products were also sent to a laboratory for testing. The laboratory findings are expected to establish whether the sweets were of substandard quality or unfit for consumption.
The action was conducted by food-safety officers P. N. Chavan and P. J. Jadhav under the guidance of senior FDA officials. The report attributed the enforcement to suspected violations of food-safety rules.
The source contains conflicting information about the regulatory action against the two units. Its headline and summary state that the licences were cancelled, while the detailed report says the FDA had begun the process of suspending the licences. No final licence order or laboratory report was included in the supplied material. The precise regulatory status of the two businesses therefore remains to be confirmed.
The next formal development will be the laboratory assessment of the seized samples and clarification of the FDA’s final decision on the licences. Until those details are available, the seizure and destruction of the sweets are the confirmed actions described in the report.
