Food safety commissioner Tukaram Mundhe says the suspension of the CCI (Club) canteen in Mumbai is based on documented public health violations rather than being selective. According to Mundhe, the inspection findings include a cockroach infestation, the presence of expired food, and multiple serious hygiene failures at the canteen. He characterizes the issues as “gross violations” and argues that the action is not prompted by minor or isolated lapses. Mundhe’s statements respond to criticism and questions around the nature and basis of the suspension, including whether enforcement was inconsistent. The commissioner maintains that the enforcement decision follows the identified violations and aims to address conditions that pose risks to customers’ health. The reports describe the canteen as an “iconic” Mumbai club facility, with the suspension drawing public attention. The commissioner’s defense focuses on the severity of the cited sanitation and food handling problems, including pests, expired inventory, and overall hygiene standards.
