In this exclusive conversation, Maharashtra FDA Commissioner Tukaram Mundhe speaks about his mission to enforce food safety laws without fear or favour. Known for his strict administrative style, Mundhe explains why restaurants, cloud kitchens, quick commerce platforms and food businesses must follow the same standards — whether they are roadside eateries or high-end establishments. He discusses the recent crackdown on non-compliant restaurants, the importance of displaying food licences, the rule around providing potable water, and why unsafe food is not just a regulatory violation but a direct threat to public health. Mundhe also opens up on the Bhiwandi investigation involving expired food products allegedly being pushed back into the market, the action against gutka networks, and why he believes organised violations need stronger enforcement. Beyond enforcement, the interview explores his personal journey — from growing up as a farmer’s son in Beed to securing an All India Rank
