Maharashtra FDA Suspends Licences, Enforces Food Safety Measures Across Cities
The Maharashtra Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has intensified inspections across Mumbai and Pune, suspending licences of several food establishments, including elite clubs like the Cricket Club of India, for violations such as poor hygiene, cockroach infestations, and expired or adulterated food. New guidelines also ban junk food within 50 meters of schools and require FSSAI licenses for school canteens. Seized food products worth over Rs 50 lakh are under investigation, reflecting the FDA's ongoing campaign to ensure food safety and hygiene statewide.
