20 Oct
Summary
- Nashik FDA suspended a canteen's license due to unhygienic conditions.
- Students reported cockroaches and poor hygiene in food items.
- The canteen is run by a well-known educational institute.
The Nashik Food and Drugs Administration (FDA) took decisive action on Monday, suspending the license of a canteen located along Trimbak Road. This canteen serves students of a well-known educational institute and was found to be operating under unhygienic conditions.
Repeated complaints from students about poor food quality, including the presence of cockroaches and other insects, prompted an inspection on October 16. Officials confirmed the unsanitary state of the premises and the contamination of food articles. Consequently, the FDA suspended the canteen's license to safeguard public health and ensure food safety standards are met.
In light of this enforcement, the FDA has appealed to all food business operators to strictly adhere to hygiene protocols, proper food storage, and handling practices as mandated by the Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006. The department has warned that non-compliance will result in stringent actions.
