FSSAI Finds Food Safety Violations at Delhi Hotels Ahead of BRICS SummitPreviousNext

Ahead of the BRICS Summit in September 2026, the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) inspected two major hotels in Delhi's Aerocity, Andaz Delhi and JW Marriott. The inspections revealed multiple food safety and hygiene violations, including expired food items, pest infestations such as cockroaches and flies, improper segregation of vegetarian and non-vegetarian food, storage issues, and missing FSSAI licenses for some products. Authorities destroyed expired sweets and took samples for further testing. These findings highlight concerns about food safety at venues hosting foreign delegates.
