Mumbai's Maharashtra Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has suspended the licences of 19 food establishments due to severe food safety and hygiene violations. Of these, 13 are in Mumbai, while six are in Thane and Navi Mumbai. In one case, Kyani & Co. in Kalbadevi had live cats, rat droppings, live flies, dead cockroaches, and blood in a refrigerator.
Another, Colaba Sweet Mart, had live cockroaches on food scales and packaging, lizards, flies, and larvae in the preparation area, and dirty mop water near food. Restaurants like Ruchi Veg Restaurant in Parel and Daffodils Fast Food Inn in Vile Parle were also suspended for unsanitary conditions, including dirty refrigerators, non-functional temperature displays, and workers sleeping among food items.
Subway in Lower Parel was cited for a faulty refrigerator that repeatedly defrosted frozen food, mould-like deposits, foul smells, and live cockroaches. The legal action began with six establishments, while S.S. Caterers in Chembur was ordered to cease operations for running without a valid licence or registration.
