- A viral video showing a live rat inside an ice cream crate at a quick-commerce delivery hub in Kalyan's Godrej Hill has sparked public outrage, with consumers demanding immediate investigations into health standards and safety protocols.
- Maharashtra FDA officials suspended the food licence of a Malad-based establishment on July 27, 2026, following inspections that uncovered unhygienic conditions, including large rodent presence and expired or damaged products.
- During an August 7 inspection at the Sarvodaya Bhuvan facility in Malad West, officials found food products placed on contaminated racks or directly on the floor, while cold-storage facilities were inadequately maintained and health documentation for food handlers was absent.
