The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) has ordered Sun Organic Industries Private Limited to recall its 'Wonderland Raisins' after regulatory samples showed pesticide residues above the maximum permissible limit. The Central Food Safety Officer collected the sample, which was tested by the National Food Laboratory in Ghaziabad and the Referral Laboratory at NIFTEM-K, and both found it unsafe under the Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006.
The regulator directed the company to recall the entire batch and comply with the Food Recall Procedure Regulations, 2017. Sun Organic Industries must also submit recall status reports, maintain records of recovered products, and take corrective action to prevent recurrence.
Indian Opinion Analysis
This recall under the FSS Act, 2006, is part of the regulator's routine surveillance, not an isolated crackdown. The law empowers FSSAI to order a recall without a court order when a product poses a risk. Consumers who bought the batch can return it for a refund under the recall rules. The company's compliance and any penalty will depend on the corrective plan it files with FSSAI. The next step to watch is whether the regulator publishes a public notice with the batch number and expiry date.
