Mumbai: Maharashtra Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has halted the Bombay Presidency Radio Club Limited's food business license after a recent inspection revealed alarming food safety and hygiene breaches. The inspection, carried out on August 19, 2026, was led by Maharashtra Food Safety Commissioner Tukaram Mundhe, who is managing the state's ongoing food safety campaign.
The FDA discovered a host of infractions, including a dead cockroach and a swarm of flies in the kitchen, in addition to Schedule 4 of the Food Safety and Standards Rules and Regulations, 2011, and the Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006. The inspection also uncovered potential contamination from exposed cockroach traps near utensil-washing stations, cracking ceiling plaster over food prep areas, and improper storage of washing powder and chemicals with food items.
Utensils and food were laid directly on the floor, while non-vegetarian food refrigerators were deemed unhygienic. FDA officials have ordered the club to cease all food purchases, sales, and distribution until the issues are resolved, with any further violations risking severe legal penalties.
