FDA Suspends BMC HQ Canteen Licence Amid Food Safety Violations in Mumbai
The Maharashtra Food and Drug Administration (FDA) suspended the licence of Kamal Caterers Pvt Ltd, which operates the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) headquarters canteen, after finding 31 unresolved food safety violations including poor hygiene and fly infestation. The canteen, serving thousands daily, remains closed pending compliance or new tendering. This action is part of a broader FDA crackdown on eateries across Mumbai, where multiple licences were suspended for similar violations. Meanwhile, a Pune dairy's licence suspension was stayed by the Bombay High Court, citing procedural concerns.
