The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) plans to meet with representatives of major quick commerce platforms to address concerns over the sale of near-expiry food products.
Executives from platforms such as Blinkit, Swiggy Instamart, Zepto, among others, will participate in the meeting.
FSSAI also plans to instruct state food safety commissioners to increase scrutiny of ecommerce and quick commerce platforms to prevent the sale of near-expiry products.
This meeting follows recent controversies such as the discovery of near-expiry products in a Zomato-owned warehouse.
