Maharashtra's Food and Drug Administration has intensified its statewide crackdown on food safety, suspending licences of nine outlets after uncovering serious quality and hygiene violations. From food adulteration and unsafe kitchens to pest infestations and banned tobacco, the FDA is tightening the net across the state. The action has put major food chains, eateries and elite clubs under scrutiny, raising fresh questions about food hygiene, artificial colours and what really goes on behind the kitchen doors.
