FSSAI Cracks Down on Fraudulent Food Re-Labelling in Delhi, Seizes Over 50,000 Food Packs
New Delhi, July 3, 2026: The Northern Regional Office (NRO) of Food Safety and Standards Authority of India has uncovered a major food fraud operation in South-West Delhi involving fraudulent re-labelling of food products and substandard storage practices. In a major enforcement action, authorities seized over 50,000 compromised food packs and registered an FIR against the Food Business Operator (FBO).
The raid was conducted at the premises of M/s Westend Corporation Pvt. Ltd., located in Okhla Industrial Area, Phase-II, Bijwasan, South-West Delhi, following intelligence inputs regarding suspicious activities related to food product tampering.
According to FSSAI, the enforcement action revealed systematic removal and re-printing of food product labels, including alteration of critical details such as:
Manufacturing dates
Expiry dates
Batch numbers
Product label information
During the inspection, Central Food Safety Officers (CFSOs) found unauthorized storage of both food and non-food items belonging to multiple brands. The products were allegedly being manipulated and re-labelled before being introduced into the market.
Authorities also recovered materials used in the illegal operation, including:
Printing machinery
Chemical solvents
Stamps and labelling tools
These items were reportedly used to alter packaging and counterfeit product labels.
FSSAI stated that such fraudulent practices pose serious risks to consumer health and violate provisions of the Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006. The regulator reiterated its zero-tolerance policy against food adulteration, misbranding, and fraudulent practices that endanger public health.
Strict legal and administrative action will be taken against the violators under the relevant provisions of law.
