Mumbai: In a significant move aimed at strengthening food safety and public health standards, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Maharashtra, has issued a comprehensive compliance order applicable to hotels, restaurants, eateries, and all food service establishments across the state.

The order, issued by the Commissioner of the Maharashtra FDA, reiterates that every food business operator must strictly adhere to the provisions of the Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006, and the regulations framed under it. It emphasizes that consumers have a fundamental right to receive safe, wholesome, and unadulterated food.

According to the order, inspections conducted by the department have revealed instances of non-compliance in several food establishments, prompting the need for stricter enforcement and uniform standards across the hospitality sector.

The directive highlights the responsibility of restaurants and hotels to maintain hygienic food preparation practices, comply with licensing and registration requirements, ensure proper storage and handling of ingredients, and follow prescribed standards relating to packaging, labelling, contaminants, and food additives.

The FDA has also stressed that public health protection is a constitutional obligation and that food service operators must play an active role in safeguarding consumers from unsafe or adulterated food.

Officials have indicated that compliance with the order will be closely monitored, and violations may invite regulatory action under the Food Safety and Standards Act and related rules.
