Maharashtra FDA Suspends Licences of IRCTC Supplier and ISKCON Food Establishments
The Maharashtra Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has suspended the food licences of an IRCTC-linked supplier in Kurla and three ISKCON establishments in Juhu following inspections that revealed multiple food safety violations. Issues included pest infestations, inadequate hygiene, improper food storage, lapses in water and raw-material testing, and deficiencies in staff medical records. The FDA's actions are part of a broader state-wide crackdown on food safety violations under the leadership of commissioner Tukaram Mundhe. Several other establishments received improvement notices or faced similar scrutiny.
