The food regulator has served a notice to the two five‑star hotels in Delhi’s Aerocity, citing serious violations including cockroach presence near freezers.
The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) has formally issued a notice to JW Marriott and Juniper Hotels (operating under the Andaz brand) located in Delhi’s Aerocity. The regulator’s order cites serious breaches of food safety standards, specifically the detection of cockroaches in proximity to a freezer and a broader disregard for mandated hygiene protocols.
According to the notice, the presence of pests in food‑handling areas constitutes a direct violation of the Food Safety and Standards Act, which mandates strict sanitation measures in all food service establishments. The FSSAI has instructed the hotels to undertake immediate corrective actions, including thorough pest control, deep cleaning of storage units, and compliance with all relevant food safety guidelines.
The two hotels, both rated five‑star, are required to submit a compliance report to the authority within a stipulated timeframe. Failure to adhere could result in further penalties, including suspension of their food service licenses.
The regulatory action underscores the authority’s heightened vigilance over hygiene standards in high‑end hospitality venues, especially in the capital’s rapidly expanding hospitality hub.
The hotels have not yet publicly responded to the notice, and the FSSAI will monitor the implementation of corrective measures closely.
