Maharashtra FDA revoked the suspension order for Zepto’s facility in Dharavi after a detailed re-inspection process and corrective actions were implemented.
FDA had initially suspended Zepto’s license in Dharavi due to food standard violations like fungal growth in food articles and poor hygiene.
Dharavi warehouse, run by Drogheria Sellers, resumed operations after the suspension order was revoked following an appeal hearing on June 13.
Zepto operates on a business-to-business basis with warehouse licensees like Drogheria Sellers, Geddit Convenience, and Commodum Groceries.
Licensees face challenges in maintaining clean warehouses due to thin margins and commission payments to Zepto.
Zepto reaffirmed its commitment to adhering to food safety standards and providing a safe experience for users.
