The state food authority raided the MCA BKC premises, suspended its food licence and ordered all its restaurants to remain closed until further notice.
The Maharashtra Food and Drug Administration (FDA) conducted a surprise raid at the MCA BKC complex in Mumbai, inspecting the premises for compliance with food safety regulations. Inspectors examined the operational areas of the establishment and documented violations that prompted immediate action.
Following the inspection, the FDA suspended the food licence previously granted to MCA BKC. The suspension removes the legal permission for the venue to prepare or serve food, pending further review by the authority.
As a direct consequence of the licence suspension, all restaurants operating under the MCA BKC banner have been ordered to shut down until the FDA issues a new directive. The closure remains in effect until the authority determines that the required corrective measures have been implemented.
The enforcement action underscores the state’s commitment to enforcing food safety standards and serves as a warning to other food service operators in the region.
