Several serious infractions were found during the Blinkit Warehouse inspection. The location was discovered to be extremely disorganized, with dusty and unclean storage racks. Worrisomely, no one with FOSTAC training was on site, and food handlers were seen working without the necessary safety equipment, including aprons, gloves, and helmets. In addition, the food handlers' medical fitness certifications were noticeably missing, which raised serious questions about the workers' health and safety as well as the safety of the food items.
A major infraction of safety laws was committed when cosmetic goods were kept next to food items, which is another infraction on the list. Discrepancies in Whole Farm Congruence Trade and services Pvt Ltd's licensing were also discovered during the examination; the label's address did not match the FSS Act's specifications. Consequently, a notification will be dispatched to tackle this matter.
During the operation, expired items worth Rs. 30,000 from Kamakshi Foods were discovered, including Suji, raw peanut butter, Maida, Poha, Besan, and Bajra. Additionally, samples for laboratory examination were supplied together with suspected contaminated Whole Farm Ragi flour and Toor dal valued at Rs. 52,000.

The government's dedication to ensuring that food safety regulations are properly followed in order to protect the public's health and welfare is demonstrated by the continuous inspections.
