Maharashtra FDA Suspends Licenses of Four Domino's Pizza Outlets Over Food Safety ViolationsPreviousNext

The Maharashtra Food and Drug Administration (FDA) suspended the licenses of four Domino's Pizza outlets, including three in Mumbai and one in Satara district, due to multiple violations of food safety and hygiene norms. Inspections found issues such as poor food storage, pest infestation, inadequate cleaning, temperature monitoring lapses, and missing mandatory records. The action was part of a statewide enforcement drive inspecting 104 establishments from major restaurant chains, resulting in several improvement notices and additional license suspensions.
