The Maharashtra Food and Drug Administration has banned the production and sale of 'analogue' or non-dairy paneer for one year. The decision follows testing that revealed many samples were unsafe or contained unauthorized vegetable fats instead of milk fat.
The Maharashtra Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on Wednesday (August 5, 2026) imposed a one-year ban on the production, processing, storage, transportation, distribution and sale of ‘analogue/non-dairy paneer’. The FDA’s order was issued under Sections 18, 29, and 30(2) (a) of the Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006.
