Karnataka's Food Safety and Drug Administration found products worth $59,000 with 'incorrect/inadequate' labelling or past their expiry date at two Amazon food storage and supply units in Bengaluru; they also seized medicines worth $4,232 that were stored without a valid license.

How did Amazon respond to the findings of the Karnataka food inspection?

Amazon stated it is reviewing the observations from the inspection and 'will take necessary steps as required', adding that it has 'robust systems and controls designed to prevent products that do not meet applicable regulatory requirements from being listed on amazon.in or entering our fulfilment centers'; an industry source told Reuters the company is strengthening internal controls to ensure such lapses do not recur.
