The Maharashtra Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has suspended the food license of popular eatery Ayub's in Mumbai following a raid on August 22. During the inspection, officials discovered multiple serious food safety and hygiene violations, including improper storage of high-risk food items such as eggs at room temperature, poor hygiene conditions in food preparation areas, open drains, stagnant water, and a large number of flies on the premises. The FDA also noted deficiencies in personal hygiene facilities for employees handling food and record keeping. The suspension takes effect from August 23, with the action being an administrative response to routine inspection findings. This is part of the FDA's wider food safety drive in Maharashtra, during which 37 hotels, restaurants, and other food establishments were inspected. Four licenses were suspended, while improvement notices were issued to 31 establishments. The FDA has vowed to continue taking strict regulatory and legal action against establishments found violating food safety and hygiene standards in Mumbai.
