Maharashtra FDA Suspends Cafe Mondegar and Three Mumbai Eateries Over Food Safety Violations
The Maharashtra Food and Drug Administration (FDA) suspended the licences of Mumbai's iconic Cafe Mondegar and three other food establishments after inspections revealed serious food safety and hygiene violations. Key issues included improper food temperature control, inadequate thawing and cooling practices, poor sanitation, damaged flooring, and inadequate drainage, posing cross-contamination risks. The enforcement, led by FDA Commissioner Tukaram Mundhe, is part of a wider crackdown ahead of the festive season. Similar actions were also taken against several establishments in Pune for food safety breaches.
