FDA suspends licence of Mumbai’s iconic Cafe Mondegar for food safety violation
During its inspection on September 12, FDA allegedly found that the drainage system near the food preparation area was inadequate and created a risk of cross-contamination
The FDA has suspended the licence of Mumbai's historic Cafe Mondegar due to food safety and hygiene violations, an official statement revealed. During an inspection on September 12, the FDA discovered inadequate drainage systems, improper cleaning and sanitizing of equipment, damaged flooring, and issues with maintaining proper food temperatures.
Cafe Mondegar, which opened in 1932 and converted to a restaurant in the 1990s, is known for its jukebox and iconic murals by cartoonist Mario Miranda. The FDA also suspended the licences of three other establishments in Mumbai and two in Pune, seizing significant quantities of dairy and sweets products.
