The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) has suspended the licence of a packaged drinking water unit in Tripura following findings of food safety violations.
The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) announced today that it has suspended the operating licence of a packaged drinking water unit located in the state of Tripura. The decision comes after a routine inspection uncovered several food safety violations at the facility.
While the specific infractions were not detailed in the statement, the suspension indicates that the unit failed to meet the regulatory standards set for packaged water production and distribution. The FSSAI has stated that it will continue to monitor the site until all compliance issues are resolved.
The action is part of the authority’s broader effort to ensure that packaged water sold across India meets stringent safety and quality benchmarks. Consumers are advised to check the product’s certification and expiry dates before purchase.
