Live larvae found in packaged sweets at Blinkit, Reliance Retail facilities

The Food and Drug Administration has initiated inspections at Blinkit and Reliance Retail facilities following a complaint regarding live larvae discovered in packaged 'kaju katli' of the 'Laxmi Narayan' brand stored at one of the outlets.

The inspection was triggered after the FDA received the complaint about the contaminated sweets. The agency is examining conditions at multiple locations to assess food safety protocols and storage practices at these retail chains.

The discovery highlights concerns about quality control and hygiene standards in food storage and distribution across modern retail networks.
