Maharashtra FDA Suspends Licences of IRCTC Supplier and ISKCON Juhu 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. These included pest infestations, poor hygiene, clogged drains, inadequate food storage, and incomplete staff health records. The crackdown, led by FDA Commissioner Tukaram Mundhe since May, is part of a wider state-wide effort to enforce food safety standards across various food businesses in Maharashtra.
