The Story in Brief
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has launched a crackdown on Domino's and other eateries in Maharashtra for violating food safety norms. The action follows inspections that uncovered poor hygiene, expired ingredients, and improper storage at several outlets. Domino's faces legal notice after its Pune kitchen was found with rodent infestation and mouldy food items. Other restaurants, including local chains, have also been penalised for similar lapses.
Officials said the drive aims to ensure compliance with the Food Safety and Standards Act. The FDA has issued warnings and suspended licences for repeat offenders. Consumers are advised to report concerns. The crackdown comes amid rising complaints about food quality at popular chains.
The Indian Opinion
The usual cry of 'harassment' from businesses every time the FDA acts misses the point: customers are paying for safe food, not a gamble. Chains like Domino's flouting hygiene norms show profit margins matter more than public health. The real test will be whether the FDA releases detailed inspection reports for each outlet, names, violations, penalties. Until then, scepticism is healthy.
