The Maharashtra Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has suspended the food licences of quick-commerce platform Blinkit’s centre in Akola and two eateries in Mumbai following inspections that found serious hygiene and food safety violations, officials said on Tuesday.
The FDA conducted surprise inspections at Delhi Sweet and Bhelpuri House in Malad, Gulzar Mohammadi Hotel in Kurla and a Blinkit facility in Akola. The inspections found food stored near dirty drains, uncertified food handlers, cockroach infestation and failure to comply with earlier improvement notices, according to the agency.
