  "account": "The Maharashtra Food and Drug Administration (FDA) suspended the licences of 13 food establishments across Greater Mumbai, Nashik, Palghar, and Satara between July 10 and August 11, 2026, due to various violations. In Mumbai, five outlets were penalized, including four Domino's Pizza establishments and two restaurants in Bhandup. The establishments were cited for poor hygiene, inadequate pest control, improper food storage, and insufficient water testing. In Nashik, five restaurants lost their licences, with Mohanlal Namkeen in Dwarka facing issues in its kitchen and storage areas. Palghar's Daksh Hotel was suspended after recording a 45% non-compliance rate, primarily due to cleanliness and segregation issues. Two Satara establishments, a Domino's Pizza outlet and a Sapphire Foods India Limited outlet, also had their licences revoked due to inadequate segregation of food and lack of proper labeling. Inspectors from the FDA conducted a statewide inspection drive on August 10 and 11, issuing 54 improvement notices and suspending 11 licences.",
