Maharashtra's Food and Drugs Administration (FDA) officials are carrying out a drive against adulteration of edible oils and multi-source edible oils across the state by sending samples to laboratories to check on such substandard quality practices ahead of the upcoming festival season.

At the state level, around 270 total samples have been collected so far under the edible oil surveillance campaign in Maharashtra, out of which 250 are samples of edible oil, nine samples of vanaspati and 11 samples of MSEO.
