The Maharashtra Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has suspended the business licenses of four Domino's Pizza outlets. Three of these outlets are located in Mumbai, specifically in Vile Parle (West), Borivali (West), and R-City Mall, Ghatkopar (West). The fourth suspended outlet is in Malkapur, Satara district. This action was taken following inspections conducted as part of a special drive from July 10 to August 11, 2026.
These inspections uncovered numerous food safety and hygiene deficiencies. Violations cited include issues with food storage, hygiene standards, pest control, temperature monitoring, and cleaning procedures. Specific concerns ranged from inadequate facilities and record-keeping to improper segregation of food preparation areas.
The FDA also suspended the license of a Sapphire Foods India Ltd. outlet in Karad, Satara, which operates chains like KFC and Pizza Hut. This broader enforcement drive aims to ensure compliance with food safety norms across Maharashtra, with the regulator vowing to continue routine inspections and take strict action against offenders.
