‘Flies, cockroaches’: FDA suspends licence of Mumbai’s 98-year-old Radio Club, Status Restaurant
The Maharashtra Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has suspended the licences of seven Mumbai establishments, including the 98-year-old Bombay Presidency Radio Club and Status Restaurant, due to severe food safety violations. Inspectors found live flies in the kitchen of Radio Club, dead cockroaches, and improper storage of cleaning supplies.
The establishment's non-compliance score was 47%, leading to an immediate licence suspension. McDonald's in Colaba also faced action after a re-inspection revealed unresolved deficiencies, including uncalibrated refrigerators and staff handling food without proper handwashing. Status Restaurant's licence was suspended after a customer complaint led to inspectors finding inadequate hygiene practices, such as staff washing faces over clean utensils and lack of grease traps.
Other restaurants suspended include Novaara, Bajrang Sweet Mart, and ASM Hotels, all due to various hygiene and storage violations.
