根据路透社审查的文件，马哈拉施特拉邦食品药品监督管理局表示，其官员曾前往可靠零售、可靠消费和Zomato Hyperpure的一些仓库进行检查，而公司官员无法提供可验证的证明，表明过期食品的处置实际上是由其承包商完成的。案件文件称：“处置机构……并未销毁库存。”
Maharashtra’s Food and Drug Administration, according to the documents reviewed by Reuters, said its officials visited some warehouses of Reliance Retail, Reliance Consumer and Zomato Hyperpure, and that company officials could not provide verifiable proof that disposal of expired food was actually carried out by their contractors. “The disposal agencies … do not destroy the stock,” the case document alleged.
根据文件，在Zomato Hyperpure的一个仓库案例中，公司代表称其处置机构为某承包商，但食品药品监督管理局官员无法追踪到该承包商。可靠零售和Blinkit未能立即回应路透社的置评请求。
In the case of a Zomato Hyperpure warehouse, a company representative named a contractor as its disposal agency which FDA officials could not trace, according to the documents. Reliance and Blinkit did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment.
马哈拉施特拉邦食品药品监督管理局局长Tukaram Mundhe对路透社表示：“任何试图将本应销毁的过期、损坏或被消费者拒绝的食品重新投入市场的行为都是严重问题，必须接受严格审查并追究责任。”
“Any attempt to divert expired, damaged or consumer-rejected food products meant for destruction back into the market is a serious matter that demands strict scrutiny and accountability,” Maharashtra’s FDA chief Tukaram Mundhe told Reuters.
“在食品安全问题上，没有任何公司、品牌、企业或个人可以置身法律之外。”印度加强打击行动Reliance Retail 和 Reliance Consumer 是亿万富翁穆克什·安巴尼商业集团的一部分。Zomato 的 Hyperpure 是 Eternal 的一个部门，该公司还运营食品配送服务 Zomato 和即时零售业务 Blinkit。

Zomato’s Hyperpure is a unit of Eternal that also runs the food delivery service Zomato and the quick commerce business Blinkit.
FDA 的调查称，其发现了一种模式：大型零售和即时零售配送仓库将过期和被客户拒收的食品包装交给承包商，承包商又将这些食品转交给无证分拣场。这些分拣场随后挑出看起来可售的包装，这些包装最终流向其他零售商和消费者市场，这一点根据调查的案卷文件所述。
The FDA probe said it found a pattern where large retail and quick commerce distribution warehouses handed over expired and customer-rejected packages of food to contractors who passed the food to unlicensed sorting yards. These sorting yards then separated out saleable-looking packets, which eventually reached other retailers and the consumer market, according to case documents from the probe.
“因此，这条链条从公司仓库到处置机构，再到无证场地、经纪人、零售商和消费者。”马哈拉施特拉邦 FDA 周四暂停了该州五家机构的许可证——其中包括三家 Reliance 实体和两家 Eternal 实体，案卷文件如是所述。
“The chain thus runs from company warehouse to disposal agency, unlicensed yard, broker, retailer and consumer.”The Maharashtra FDA on Thursday suspended the licences of five establishments in the state — three Reliance and two Eternal entities, the case documents said.
