Maharashtra FDA Suspends Licences of Two Food Establishments Over Safety Violations
The Maharashtra Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has suspended the FSSAI licences of two food establishments following inspections that revealed serious food safety and hygiene violations. Poornima Restaurant in Mumbai was found with fungal growth on raw vegetables, poor sanitation, and improper storage practices. Similarly, the Palghar District Collector's office canteen had expired food items and inadequate hygiene standards. Both actions were taken to address potential public health risks under the Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006, with legal proceedings initiated against the canteen operator.
