In a significant food safety enforcement action, the Maharashtra Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has suspended the licenses of five food outlets located within the Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) premises. These establishments were found to be non-compliant with essential food safety standards, exhibiting deficiencies in food handling, storage, refrigeration, and sanitation practices.

This action is part of an intensified statewide campaign by the FDA.
