Maharashtra FDA Suspends Licences of Three ISKCON Juhu Food Units
· India · Indian Express, The Hindu
The Maharashtra Food and Drug Administration has suspended the licences of three food establishments operated by ISKCON at Hare Krishna Land in Mumbai due to severe hygiene and safety violations. Inspections conducted on September 3 revealed issues including pest infestations, improper food storage, and inadequate medical checks for employees. The crackdown also affected other major food businesses in Mumbai, Pune, and the Konkan division for similar non-compliance. The regulator cited gaps in drainage, water testing, and food safety training as primary reasons for the enforcement action. The establishments affected include the main food unit, ISKCON Juhu Food Services–Restaurant, and Govindas Restaurant.
Why it matters
The suspension directly impacts the daily operations of popular dining destinations in Mumbai and underscores the regulator's commitment to enforcing food safety standards across all establishments, regardless of their profile.
