# Bombay HC allows Amazon to destroy expired food under FDA watch 2026-08-11T01:46:45+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet On August 10, the Bombay High Court permitted Amazon Retail India to prepare an inventory of expired food products at its Bhiwandi warehouse and destroy them under FDA supervision. The court directed Amazon to hand over the inventory to an FDA officer within one day. The expired items will be disposed of as per the FDA's November 2025 advisory. The order comes while Amazon challenges the suspension and cancellation of its food licence. The FDA had alleged that expired products meant for disposal were being sent into the retail market. Amazon denies this. The court last week criticised the FDA for acting like trying to "kill a mosquito with a sword." The matter will be heard next on August 27. ## Coverage - freepressjournal.in Tags: Amazon, Bhiwandi warehouse, Bombay High Court, expired food, FDA, food licence Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/bombay-hc-allows-amazon-to-destroy-expired-food-under-fda-watch/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
