FDA Suspends FSSAI Licence Of Iconic Fort Udupi Restaurant Poornima Over Fungal Food, Serious Hygiene

The Maharashtra FDA suspended the FSSAI licence of Poornima Restaurant in Fort, Mumbai over hygiene violations.

Inspectors found fungal growth on stored raw vegetables including drumsticks and bananas, flies in the kitchen, and unsanitary conditions.

The restaurant was ordered to cease operations until compliance with food safety standards is verified.

The action is part of a broader FDA crackdown on food establishments in Mumbai, including a recent closure of a BMC canteen.
