Maharashtra FDA Suspends Licence of KEM Hospital Canteen Over Food Safety Violations
The Maharashtra Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has suspended the licence of the canteen operated by M/s Stany Caterers at Mumbai's KEM Hospital following an inspection on July 15 that found unhygienic conditions and violations of the Food Safety and Standards Act. Operations were halted immediately, and four food samples were collected for laboratory analysis. This action is part of an intensified FDA crackdown on food safety violations since Commissioner Tukaram Mundhe took charge in May, including a recent suspension of Parsi Dairy Farm's licence.
