Subhiksha Packaging Firms Licence Cancel By FDA - Aug 14 , 2008

Cracking the whip on leading retail chain Subhiksha, Maharashtra''s Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on Wednesday cancelled licences of its three packaging firms over hygiene issues at its warehouses. The Food and Drug Adminstration (FDA) finds Subhiksha guilty of unhygienic godowns.Subhiksha licence would be suspended for 20 days from August 20 to September 8. Subhiksha can now appeal to the division bench of Bombay HC. Stores across Maharashtra will have to remain shut for 20 days. Subhiksha says it will appeal to the High Court right away.

The original FDA order was put out in May 2008. Original FDA order has said Subhiksha stores across Maharashtra will be shut for 10 days. This original FDA order was stayed after Subhiksha''s appeal to the Bombay HC. It''s the same order, which has resurfaced and now will be appealed against again by Subhiksha.
