The Maharashtra Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has suspended the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) licence of Mumbai’s historic Irani cafe Kyani & Co. after an inspection found multiple food safety and hygiene violations, including rat droppings, live flies and dead cockroaches in its food preparation and storage areas.

The inspection at the cafe, which was established in 1904 and is among Mumbai’s oldest surviving Irani cafes, was conducted on September 27 by a team led by Maharashtra FDA chief Tukaram Mundhe, as per an India Today report. The action came as part of the department’s statewide festive-season crackdown under its “Safe Food, Safe Maharashtra” policy.
