Mumbai Ice Cream Outlet Loses Licence

Mumbai's iconic Rustom ice cream parlour has had its licence suspended by the FDA due to serious hygiene deficiencies and regulatory violations. The suspension was made under the Food Safety and Standards Act after an inspection revealed rats on the premises.

The FDA inspection found significant breaches of hygiene and safety protocols, leading to the suspension. The move aims to protect consumers from potential health risks associated with contaminated food.

Rustom ice cream parlour is a well-known outlet in Mumbai, and the suspension of its licence may affect its operations and reputation. The FDA statement highlighted the importance of maintaining high standards of hygiene and food safety in food establishments.

The suspension is a result of the FDA's efforts to ensure that food outlets in Mumbai adhere to strict hygiene and safety guidelines. The FDA conducts regular inspections of food establishments to detect and prevent violations of food safety regulations.

The exact duration of the licence suspension is not specified, but it is expected to remain in place until the outlet addresses the hygiene deficiencies and regulatory violations detected during the inspection.
