Maharashtra FDA Suspends Licences of Multiple Food Establishments Over Hygiene Violations
Maharashtra's Food and Drug Administration (FDA), led by Tukaram Mundhe, has suspended licences of multiple food establishments across Mumbai and other districts following inspections that revealed serious hygiene violations. These included open drains, pest infestations, adulterated products, and improper food storage at notable locations such as Suleman Usman Mithaiwala, Swiggy Instamart, Amazon warehouses, and several eateries. The crackdown, part of a statewide festive-season drive, aims to ensure food safety by enforcing sanitation and regulatory compliance ahead of the festival period.
