FSSAI inspections at two hotels in Delhi's Aerocity found cockroaches, flies, foul smell, and 87 kg of expired sweets, sources said. At one hotel, inspectors noted poor segregation of vegetarian and non-vegetarian food. Expired cake bases and bread packets were also found.
At the second hotel, a two-day inspection recorded 59 deficiencies, including missing FSSAI licences on some products, mouldy apples, rotten tomatoes, and food stored in the open. Cockroaches and broken containers were found in the bakery section. The inspections are part of a wider food-safety enforcement drive across states.
Indian Opinion Analysis
The FSSAI can suspend or cancel a hotel's licence for such violations under the Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006. Hotels found non-compliant face fines of up to Rs 10 lakh per offence and possible prosecution. Aerocity hotels cater to high-end travellers and airport transit passengers, so these lapses could hurt Delhi's hospitality reputation. The next step will be the show-cause notices the FSSAI issues, which typically set a compliance deadline of 7 to 15 days before further action is taken.
