Maharashtra FDA Suspends Licenses of Four Domino's Pizza Outlets over Hygiene Norms' Violation

The agency cited hygiene and food-safety lapses, including 15% non-compliance at one Mumbai outlet and 40% at another in Malkapur.

  • On Wednesday, Maharashtra FDA suspended food business licenses of four Domino's Pizza outlets across Mumbai and Satara district for alleged hygiene violations and food safety non-compliance during a statewide chain restaurant inspection drive.
  • Commissioner Tukaram Mundhe launched the statewide enforcement drive covering 104 chain restaurants, including KFC, McDonald's, and Pizza Hut, to address critical food safety compliance gaps across Maharashtra.
  • Inspectors reported 15% non-compliance at Borivali West and about 40% at Malkapur, citing deficiencies in pest control, sanitation, food storage segregation, and temperature monitoring across the outlets.
  • Overall, the FDA inspected 120 establishments, issuing 54 improvement notices and suspending 11 total licenses. Beyond Domino's, authorities suspended licenses for Mumbai Metro Dhaba and Gulshan-Da-Punjabi Dhaba after finding shortcomings in basic facilities and pest control.
  • Separately, officials inspected 434 Ayurvedic drug manufacturing establishments for compliance with the Drugs and Cosmetics Act. This follows recent FDA actions against Blink Commerce over "cockroach infestation" and Reliance Retail regarding alleged larvae contamination.
