Mumbai’s Food and Drugs Administration (FDA) suspends licences for multiple food establishments after inspections find serious hygiene and pest-control lapses. The Bombay Presidency Radio Club and Khar Gymkhana have had their licences temporarily revoked. At the Radio Club, the kitchen is reported to show active fly infestation and a dead cockroach, with additional evidence of pests observed in kitchen areas.
Reports also describe concerns around pest management at a McDonald’s outlet in Colaba, where a live cockroach issue is cited as part of the FDA’s action. NDTV’s account of the Radio Club inspection adds detail, saying open cockroach traps are found in the utensil-washing area.
Across the coverage, the common thread is that the FDA links the suspensions to poor waste management and inadequate pest control that violates food-safety regulations. The outlets involved face temporary licence suspension as the matter proceeds, with the inspections focused on kitchen hygiene and pest-related findings rather than other types of non-compliance.
