Food Authorities Suspend Licences of Multiple Establishments Over Safety Violations
Food safety authorities in Maharashtra and Uttar Pradesh have suspended licences of multiple food establishments following inspections that revealed serious hygiene violations, including pest infestations, improper food storage, and lack of mandatory records. Notable suspensions include popular chains like Bhagat Tarachand and Barista Coffee in Mumbai. Authorities also seized suspected substandard packaged water in Maharashtra. Some establishments received improvement notices and could regain licences after compliance verification. These actions are part of ongoing efforts to enforce food safety standards and protect public health.
