Mumbai FDA To Inspect Premium Hotel Restaurant After Cardiologist Ashok Seth Flags Cockroach Sighting

Mumbai's Maharashtra Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will conduct an inspection of a upscale hotel restaurant following claims by cardiologist Dr Ashok Seth, who spotted a baby cockroach on his table at Romano’s at the JW Marriott Sahar. Dr Seth, chairman of Fortis Healthcare, posted a video of the insect on social media, claiming efforts to remove the cockroach were unsuccessful.

The FDA team, led by Commissioner Tukaram Mundhe, will investigate the premises to determine if there were any food safety or hygiene violations, according to Mundhe. The hotel's representative apologized for the incident and pledged to investigate. However, a single cockroach sighting does not automatically confirm kitchen infestation or food safety issues; FDA findings will dictate further action.
