Mumbai, Aug 10: The Food and Drug Administration has suspended the food licence of a Punjab Grill outlet in Navi Mumbai after officials found cockroach infestation, unhygienic conditions, stagnant water and missing mandatory records, among other violations.
Subsequently, the suspension applies specifically to the Navi Mumbai outlet and does not affect the entire Punjab Grill chain.
Meanwhile, the FDA raids, being carried out under the direction of IAS officer Tukaram Mundhe, who assumed charge as FDA Commissioner two months ago, have intensified across the state.
The administration has launched several crackdowns on food outlets and institutions for alleged violations of food-safety regulations and failure to maintain hygiene standards, prioritising consumer health and safety.
