A fourth outlet in Malkapur, Satara, was also penalised. The action is part of a wider drive that inspected 104 chain restaurants such as KFC, McDonald's and Starbucks. Two outlets received stop-business notices, 95 got improvement notices and five licences were suspended overall. The FDA also suspended the licence of a Sapphire Foods outlet in Karad, which runs Pizza Hut, for violations including improper segregation of vegetarian and non-vegetarian pizzas and missing expiry dates on condiments. ## Coverage - timesofindia.indiatimes.com - hindustantimes.com - news.abplive.com - businesstoday.in Tags: Domino's Pizza, FDA, food safety, hygiene violations, licence suspension, Maharashtra Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/maharashtra-fda-suspends-licences-of-four-dominos-outlets-2/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
