Maharashtra FDA Suspends Licenses of McDonald's and Elite Clubs

The Maharashtra Food and Drug Administration (FDA) suspended the operating licenses of several prominent food outlets, including a Mumbai McDonald's and the 98-year-old Radio Club, on August 22, 2026.

The action followed surprise inspections that uncovered severe hygiene violations, specifically the presence of flies and cockroaches in food preparation and storage areas.

The FDA has mandated immediate corrective measures for all affected businesses, signaling a broader crackdown on food safety standards across the state's hospitality sector.
