Maharashtra FDA Suspends Licences of Mumbai Food Outlets Over Safety Violations
The Maharashtra Food and Drug Administration (FDA) suspended licences of multiple food establishments in Mumbai, including Brijwasi in Malad West, Zepto in Bhandup, and a Domino's Pizza outlet in Parel, due to serious hygiene and food safety violations found during inspections in early October. Violations included improper storage of vegetarian and non-vegetarian items, inadequate sanitation, and failure to comply with previous notices. Additionally, the FDA seized adulterated edible oil in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar and prohibited food items in Beed district, taking enforcement actions under the Food Safety and Standards Act.
