Maharashtra FDA suspends about 60 food-business licences after 600 inspections
Maharashtra FDA says immediate suspensions are limited to cases involving unsafe food and public-health risks. Lesser violations draw improvement notices; the agency has issued nearly 150 since its enforcement drive began in May.
Maharashtra FDA says immediate licence suspensions apply only to unsafe food posing public-health risks, while lesser violations receive improvement notices. Since May, it has inspected over 600 food businesses, suspending about 60 licences and issuing nearly 150 notices.
Why this matters
The suspensions escalate Maharashtra FDA’s recent hygiene enforcement, following two-week repair orders for eateries and inspections of Bombay High Court canteens amid Mumbai’s crackdown.
