Ganesh Products Licence Suspended by FSSAI After Cockroaches, Rodents Found

The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) has suspended the licence of Ganesh Products Pvt. Ltd. with immediate effect after an inspection of its food manufacturing premises found serious food safety and hygiene violations. The inspection found poor cleaning and sanitation across the facility, with officials reporting dirt, soil, dark matter, algae or fungal spots, cockroaches, rodents, flies and cobwebs in processing and storage areas.

The finished-product storage area was also found to be inadequately maintained. Officials observed that products were improperly stacked and kept close to walls, while ventilation was considered insufficient. Inspectors also found rusting on most production containers, with some containers in unhygienic condition and carrying unwanted material. Expired and unlabelled food materials were reportedly stored alongside finished products. FSSAI Orders Nilgiri Oil and Allied Industries, Aquagri Processing To Recall 2 Products Over Unsafe Samples.

Waste, old stock, rejected lots and scrap materials had accumulated in food-handling areas, according to the inspection findings. Officials also reported dead mice, cockroaches and rodents at the premises. The inspection further found that rodent boxes were absent and pest-control equipment was not functioning properly. These findings were among the serious non-compliances cited by the food regulator.

The facility was also found to have structural and maintenance issues, including flaking paint, dampness, broken floor tiles and damaged corners. FSSAI officials noted that records for control samples covering one year or the product's shelf life were unavailable. Other required documents and procedures, including mock recall records, a jewellery policy, proper handwashing facilities, consumer complaint records and internal and external audit records, were also found to be missing.

Ganesh Products manufactures food products including syrups. The company's 2026 catalogue lists products such as lemon syrup and masala shikanji syrup. The regulator said the violations were serious enough to potentially compromise food safety and public health. The FSSAI licence has therefore been suspended with immediate effect and will remain suspended until further orders. The action comes amid increased food-safety enforcement in India, with regulators conducting inspections and taking action against food businesses found violating hygiene and safety requirements.
