Swiggy Instamart: FSSAI record

Update, October 2026: on 30 Sep 2026 Telangana's food safety authority, TG SAFE, suspended the licences of two Swiggy Instamart dark stores in Hyderabad, at Pet Basheerabad and Saidabad, after finding expired and damaged food, fungal vegetables, cockroaches and poor storage. Instamart's Chintal store received an improvement notice and its Nizampet, Gajularamaram and Shah Ali Banda stores received show-cause notices. A report on 7 to 8 Oct of expired items at a Hastinapuram dark store did not name the platform in most coverage and is not recorded here.

Swiggy Instamart drew nine notices from FSSAI in July 2026, the largest count of any quick-commerce platform in the regulator's summer inspection drive. Business Standard's 5 Aug 2026 overview of the crackdown reported the notices as concerning expired and rotten items and related storage lapses at Instamart facilities. FSSAI announced the notices on its social media around 10 to 11 Jul 2026, and All India Radio reported them on 11 Jul. Reported reasons also include incorrect or non-existent licence numbers and premises operating under names different from those registered. The notice texts and Swiggy's responses are not public.

Unlike Blinkit, whose Malad West dark store lost its licence on 7 Aug 2026, and Zepto, whose Hoskote warehouse was sealed around 11 Aug 2026, Instamart has no reported suspension or sealing. Its record for the period is notices only.

The same drive produced notices to KFC India over hygiene and to Flipkart Minutes over insects in a delivered item, indicating that regulators were sampling across restaurant chains and delivery platforms rather than targeting one company. No product recall or platform-wide action against Swiggy is on record.
