Mumbai Sweet Shop's Licence Suspended After Metal Pin Found in Kaju Katli
A Mumbai man, Prannoy Palav, found a corroded metal pin inside a piece of kaju katli purchased from Tewari Bros sweet shop at Charni Road on July 29, just before feeding it to his three-year-old daughter. He shared photos and videos alleging poor hygiene and food safety standards at the shop, including footage of the kitchen and a washroom inside it. Following the complaint, Maharashtra Food and Drug Administration suspended the shop's FSSAI licence and initiated an inspection. The sweet shop has not publicly responded to the allegations.
