  "account": "Mumbai's Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has revoked the licenses of three eateries in the city due to severe food safety and hygiene breaches. The establishments affected are a Domino’s Pizza outlet in Parel, a food parcel and catering service in Bhandup West, and a dhaba in Kurla West.\n\nThe Domino’s Pizza outlet on Dr Ambedkar Road in Parel had its license suspended on October 12 following a reinspection on October 9. During this inspection, officials discovered that vegetarian and non-vegetarian food was stored together in the same deep freezer, and chicken and paneer were being prepared on the same grill. This was despite the outlet being given an improvement notice on August 11, which was not adequately addressed.\n\nM/s Maaz Food Parcel and Catering, located in Sonapur, Bhandup West, saw its licence suspended on October 13 after multiple hygiene violations were found. These included a cockroach infestation, clogged and unclean drains, and food items served without labels. The establishment even used artificial food color, described as butter on the menu, which misled customers.\n\nLastly, M/s Mughal Dhaba, situated opposite Kalpana Cinema in Kurla West, had its registration suspended after a customer complained about stale food delivered via Zomato. The FDA's October 8 inspection revealed clogged drains with food waste and stagnant water, rusted kitchen equipment, peeling paint, poor food segregation, and open dustbins near onions.",
