FSSAI slaps notices on JW Marriott, Andaz Delhi for hygiene violations
The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) has issued notices to JW Marriott and Andaz Delhi, two five-star hotels in Delhi's Aerocity, after inspections on Wednesday found serious hygiene and food-safety violations. At JW Marriott, inspectors found cockroaches, fruit flies, fungal-affected food, unclean utensils, and improper food storage. At Andaz Delhi, inspectors found active cockroaches near freezers, houseflies, spider webs, a gutka packet inside the bottling plant area, and about 87 kilograms of expired sweets.
The regulator also flagged deficiencies in licensing, labelling, temperature control, and sanitation at JW Marriott, while Andaz Delhi was cited for duplicate date-marking on expired bread packaging and poor waste management. FSSAI has collected samples including ghee, mayonnaise, and honey for laboratory testing. The hotels have been directed to take immediate corrective measures and submit compliance reports. JW Marriott said it is cooperating with authorities, while Andaz Delhi's response was not immediately available.

All three sources reported the FSSAI findings in a straight, factual manner, leading with the violations and quoting the regulator and hotel responses. The coverage is uniform neutral-report, with no discernible pro-government or critical slant. The story reflects the regulator's enforcement role without editorial judgement. Further action depends on laboratory test results from the collected samples, which will determine whether fines or other penalties follow.
