In a major enforcement drive targeting food safety and hygiene breaches, the Maharashtra Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has suspended the operational licences of Colaba's famous Cafe Mondegar alongside three other food businesses in Mumbai.
The action follows a regulatory inspection conducted on September 12 at Cafe Mondegar, located at Metro House in Colaba. According to the regulator, inspectors uncovered serious deficiencies that posed a direct risk of cross-contamination. Critical violations included a failure to store hot food above the required temperature of 60 degrees Celsius, failure to maintain cold storage below 5 degrees Celsius, improper food thawing methods, inadequate rapid cooling for cooked meals, and general structural and sanitary flaws.
