Officials from the Food Safety and Drug Administration Department (FDA) gathered samples from a McDonald’s outlet in Noida Sector 18 and Theobroma bakery in Sector 104 in response to a consumer complaint alleging food-related illness. The complaint was filed via the Food Safety Connect portal of the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI).
At the McDonald’s outlet, a customer reportedly fell ill after consuming a burger and french fries. FDA teams promptly visited the respective establishments to collect samples, including palm oil, cheese, mayonnaise, and cake, following the complaints.
Archana Dheeran, Assistant Commissioner (Food) FDA, Gautam Buddh Nagar, confirmed the actions taken and stated that if the laboratory report confirms any product failure, appropriate measures will be taken, including potential legal action. The report is expected within a month.
