Maharashtra FDA Suspends Licences of IRCTC Supplier and ISKCON Juhu Food Outlets
The Maharashtra Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has suspended licences of an IRCTC-linked supplier in Kurla and three ISKCON Juhu food establishments following inspections that revealed serious hygiene and food safety violations. Issues included cockroach infestations, clogged drains, uncovered food, poor pest control, inadequate staff health records, and improper food storage. The crackdown, led by FDA commissioner Tukaram Mundhe, is part of a broader state-wide effort to enforce food safety standards across multiple food businesses in Mumbai and Thane.
