FDA suspends license of Mumbai's Otters Club over analogue paneer; Crackdown on several other establishments across Maharashtra
Other establishments across Maharashtra also had their licences suspended after inspections found alleged hygiene, storage, pest-control and food-safety violations during the ongoing statewide enforcement drive between July 14, 2026, and August 17, 2026
The Maharashtra Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has taken action against the Otters Club in Bandra, Maharashtra, suspending its food license due to the use of analogue paneer. This is part of a broader crackdown on several other restaurants across the state that were found to have hygiene, storage, pest-control, and food-safety violations during a statewide enforcement drive that ran from July 14, 2026, to August 17, 2026.
Inspectors from the FDA visited Otters Club and several other establishments in Mumbai, discovering that the analogue paneer being served by the club did not meet the required standards, leading to the suspension of its food license. This move is part of a larger effort to ensure food safety across Maharashtra, with multiple other restaurants facing similar consequences after their inspections revealed various violations.
The FDA's actions highlight the ongoing commitment to maintaining high standards of hygiene and safety in food establishments throughout the state. The crackdown is expected to continue, with more establishments being inspected and potential suspensions or closures pending the outcomes of these inspections.
