The Maharashtra Food and Drug Administration (FDA) suspended the food licence of Ayub's, a popular Mumbai eatery, following an inspection that found serious hygiene and food safety violations, including improper storage, poor sanitation, and pest control issues. Separately, the Bombay High Court ordered a fresh FDA inspection of five eateries at the Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) premises after their licences were suspended over alleged violations. The court allowed limited service pending the new inspection and report.
