FSSAI issues notices to JW Marriott, Andaz over cockroaches
Delhi: The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) has issued notices to two five-star hotels in Delhi's Aerocity, JW Marriott and Andaz, after inspections uncovered serious hygiene violations. At JW Marriott, officials found cockroaches, fruit flies, spoiled food including fungal-affected apples and rotten tomatoes, and poor pest control. At Andaz, inspectors found active cockroaches near freezers, 87 kg of expired sweets, expired cake bases, and a gutka packet in the bottling area.
Deficiencies included improper segregation of vegetarian and non-vegetarian food, unclean utensils, and labelling violations. The regulator has collected samples for lab analysis and will take further action based on reports. The hotels could not be reached for comment.
Indian Opinion Analysis
Both sources report the same FSSAI findings, but greaterkashmir.com leads with the specific violation at JW Marriott, the cockroaches near freezers, before listing Andaz, while republicworld.com leads with a generic 'complaints' and keeps both hotels unnamed early on. Greaterkashmir.com omits the mention that expired sweets were destroyed on the spot, a detail republicworld.com includes. Both attribute to 'sources' for some confirmations, but republicworld.com relies on that phrase far more. The balanced reading: the regulator found severe pest and hygiene issues at both luxury hotels, and the samples collected will determine the next action.
