India's Maharashtra state inspects global fast-food chains for mislabeling cheese products.

India's Maharashtra state will inspect global fast-food chains, including McDonald's, KFC, Burger King, Pizza Hut, and Domino's, to check if they use cheese alternatives in products wrongly advertised as containing real cheese. This widens the scrutiny beyond a crackdown on McDonald's after its franchisee, Westlife Foods, faced accusations of using vegetable oil-based cheese analogues in some products instead of real cheese. Maharashtra Food and Drug Administration may suspend the licenses of restaurants found to have misled consumers.
