Food Safety/Compliance: India’s FSSAI issued 150+ notices to major food brands over violations, while reports also flag hygiene concerns at a McDonald’s after a rat was caught on camera. Beverage Recall: A Kalamazoo business recalled marijuana-infused drinks over possible THC potency issues. Trade Impact on Alcohol: U.S. tariffs on Canadian goods include alcoholic beverages, raising costs for wine and spirits.
