"We have informed the Food Business Operators about this," she said, adding that no such case has been noticed in the state.

"All such activities related to the commercialisation of human milk and its products should be immediately stopped," she said, citing the Central government's directives.

"Any violation may result in the initiation of action against the Food Business Operator in accordance with the FSS Act," Sardesai added.
