The Karnataka Food Safety and Drugs Administration (FDA) has ordered the temporary suspension of food licenses for online retailers Amazon, Swiggy Instamart, and BigBasket, following a probe that uncovered the sale of poisonous Datura fruits and seeds on their platforms. This action was taken due to concerns over public health risks posed by the consumption of Datura. The FDA has directed these e-commerce giants to immediately remove all online listings offering Datura for human consumption, and to halt the sale, distribution, and display of these products as food. In addition, licenses and registrations of vendors supplying Datura products have been suspended. The concerned parties have been asked to submit compliance reports, after which a decision will be made regarding the lifting of the suspension. On Monday, all three platforms appeared in court for a hearing on the matter. While Amazon and BigBasket provided some response, Swiggy Instamart did not, prompting the FDA to find their answers unsatisfactory. A viral social media post has also emerged, with a user claiming she received a Datura fruit as a free sample in her Instamart order. The FDA's investigation is ongoing.
