FDA Suspends Licences of Five Mumbai Cricket Association Food Outlets Over Hygiene ViolationsPreviousNext

The Maharashtra Food and Drug Administration (FDA), led by Commissioner Tukaram Mundhe, suspended the licences of five food outlets at the Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) premises following inspections on August 20 that revealed multiple hygiene and food safety violations. Issues included poor sanitation, improper food storage, refrigeration lapses, cross-contamination risks, and unclean kitchen conditions. The FDA's statewide crackdown also affected other establishments. The Bombay High Court has ordered a fresh FDA inspection and allowed the suspension to be lifted if violations are rectified, while MCA was directed to clean its premises before reinspection.
