McDonald’s License Suspended in Cheese Substitute Row

Maharashtra FDA has suspended a McDonald’s outlet's license in Ahmednagar for using cheap cheese substitutes.

FDA accused McDonald’s of not disclosing cheese analogues, made from vegetable oil, in product labels.

Health concerns and consumer deception have been cited by the FDA Commissioner as the core reasons for the license suspension.

McDonald’s has challenged the FDA's action; asserting the use of real cheese, and cooperation with relevant authorities.
