  "summary": "The Maharashtra FDA has launched a crackdown on food establishments violating hygiene and food safety laws, led by Commissioner Tukaram Mundhe. Several restaurants, kitchens, and food businesses in Mumbai have been inspected, with licences suspended due to serious violations.\n\nAmong those affected are an IRCTC-linked kitchen in Kurla and three ISKCON establishments in Juhu. Inspectors found a range of issues, including cockroach infestations, poor hygiene, expired food, unclean equipment, and incomplete staff health records.\n\nThe IRCTC-linked kitchen in Kurla was found to have multiple hygiene violations, including cockroach infestations and inadequate separation of raw and cooked food. The FDA suspended its licence due to these violations.",
