India's Food Safety and Standards Authority (FSSAI) has issued stern warnings to two five-star hotels in Delhi, Andaz Delhi and JW Marriott, following inspections that exposed a string of food safety and hygiene violations. The Andaz property had 87 kg of expired sweets seized and destroyed, while the JW Marriott faced cockroach infestations, improper storage of food, and other infractions.
Both venues are listed on the BRICS Business Forum's official website as potential host or accommodation sites for the upcoming 18th BRICS Summit in September.
During the FSSAI's inspections, expired sweets, faulty cake bases, and pest-ridden pastry areas were discovered at Andaz Delhi, operated by Juniper Hotels. Additionally, the kitchen's failure to separate vegetarian and non-vegetarian foods, as well as the improper storage of cutting boards in shared water containers, raised serious concerns.
Similarly, JW Marriott Aerocity, managed by Aria Hotels and Consultancy Services, was found to be conducting unauthorized retail activities without proper licensing. The hotel was also lacking a prominently displayed FSSAI license and failed to meet sanitation standards, with active pest infestations and unclean food preparation areas.
