FDA Suspends Licences of Radio Club, Khar Gymkhana, McDonald's Colaba
· India · Times of India, Indian Express, India Today
The FDA has suspended the food business licences of The Bombay Presidency Radio Club and McDonald's Colaba, along with the registration certificate of Khar Gymkhana, due to severe hygiene and food safety violations. Inspections revealed large-scale infestations of live flies and cockroaches in kitchen areas, alongside failures in waste management and temperature control. The crackdown follows a broader initiative led by commissioner Tukaram Mundhe, which has seen 13 food businesses suspended across Maharashtra. At the McDonald's Colaba outlet, officials reported that employees handled food without proper hand hygiene and noted the unauthorized use of non-dairy sauce despite claims of using real cheese. The FDA also revoked the licence of Novaara restaurant in Malad after the establishment failed to resolve previously cited safety deficiencies.
Why it matters
The suspension of these prominent establishments signals a stricter enforcement of food safety standards in Mumbai, directly impacting consumer health and restaurant operations.
