The Story in Brief
The Maharashtra FDA has suspended the food business licences of four Domino's Pizza outlets, three in Mumbai and one in Satara, after finding multiple hygiene and safety violations. Deficiencies included poor food storage, lack of pest control, inadequate temperature monitoring, and failure to segregate raw and cooked items.
The action came during a statewide drive that inspected 104 chain restaurants, including KFC, McDonald's, and Burger King. Authorities halted operations at two outlets, issued 95 improvement notices, and suspended five licences overall. The FDA said inspections will continue.
The Indian Opinion
The crackdown on Domino's and other chains sparks familiar claims of selective targeting or publicity-seeking. But the numbers tell a different story: of 104 outlets inspected, only five lost licences. That suggests most comply with norms, and the regulator is enforcing standards, not making examples. The real test is consistency. Will the FDA sustain this scrutiny beyond one drive, or will violations creep back once the spotlight moves? The next round of surprise checks will answer that.
