Authorities from the Thane unit of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Maharashtra downed the shutters of Aahar Foods and Juices and Chills, an eatery and a juice parlour, respectively, on the third floor of Bhayandar’s Maxus Mall for operating without licenses and in unhygienic conditions, contravening Section 36(3)(b) of the Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006.
Krishna Dabhade, assistant commissioner (food), FDA Thane, stated that Manik Jadhav, food safety officer (FSO) in charge of the area, found this during a surprise check. A notice was issued to Nishi Gupta, proprietor, Aahar Foods, and the eatery was shut until the orders were issued.
Dabhade said, “Both the eateries were trespassing the law. Aahar Foods did not have a license to run a restaurant business. We found live cockroaches on the premises of Juices and Chills. The entire place was a mess, and no food could be prepared in those unhealthy conditions. So we have seized the place and will provide updates.” He added that in public interest, the state FDA had prohibited any activity on the premises till further orders were issued.
It was also found that the eateries, in violation of Sections 31(1), 26(1), 26(2)(ii) and 26(2)(v) of the Food Safety and Standards (Packaging and Labelling) Regulations, 2011, were found to be serving carbonated sweetened beverages in paper cups that did not bear the disclaimer, “Contains caffeine”.
