The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India has suspended the operating licence of a water supply company following findings of safety violations. The action comes after a regulatory inspection revealed non‑compliance with national standards.
The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) announced today that it has suspended the operating licence of a water supply firm after a recent inspection uncovered serious safety violations. The firm, which distributes packaged drinking water across several districts, failed to meet mandatory quality and hygiene standards set by the regulator.
Under the suspension, the company is prohibited from selling or distributing its water products until it can demonstrate full compliance with FSSAI guidelines. The authority has directed the firm to undertake corrective measures and submit a compliance report within 30 days.
Consumers are advised to avoid purchasing water from the affected supplier and to seek products from licensed vendors only. FSSAI has also warned that any further non‑compliance could lead to permanent revocation of the licence.
The agency will review the firm’s compliance status after the deadline and may reinstate the licence if all requirements are satisfactorily met. This move underscores FSSAI’s commitment to safeguarding public health and maintaining stringent standards for food and beverage products.
