Maharashtra FDA chief Tukaram Mundhe is leading a significant crackdown on food adulteration across the state. Well-known establishments are facing raids and show-cause notices as part of this ongoing drive. Filmmaker Kunal Kohli humorously suggested inspecting household kitchens for expired food items. The FDA also issued notices to Bollywood actors regarding an elaichi advertisement. These actions highlight the department's focus on food safety and advertising regulations.

Tukaram Mundhe joined the IAS in August 2005. In his own words, he is “a man who walked barefoot on farm soil before walking corridors of power”.
