FDA suspends Radio Club, Khar Gymkhana licences
The Maharashtra Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has suspended the food business licenses of 14 establishments across Maharashtra, including two in Mumbai - the Bombay Presidency Radio Club and a McDonald's outlet. The suspensions come as part of a crackdown on food establishments found violating food safety and hygiene norms.
An FDA inspection of Radio Club found a 47% non-compliance rate, with issues ranging from live flies and dead cockroaches in the kitchen to improper thawing of food and unclean refrigerators. Similarly, McDonald's faced multiple deficiencies including uncalibrated refrigeration equipment, live cockroaches, lack of pest traps, and employees handling ready-to-eat food without washing their hands.
Other establishments suspended include Khar Gymkhana in Mumbai and several in other cities like Pune, Nagpur, Nashik, and Amravati, all cited for various food safety and hygiene violations.
