The Maharashtra Food and Drug Administration has revoked the operating licence of Gallops Restaurant in Mumbai, citing breaches of food‑safety regulations.
The Maharashtra Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has ordered the suspension of the licence of Gallops Restaurant, a popular dining spot in Mumbai. The action follows an inspection that uncovered multiple violations of the state’s food‑safety standards, including inadequate hygiene practices and lapses in temperature control of perishable items.
Officials from the FDA said the findings indicated a risk to public health and that the restaurant must cease operations until it complies with corrective measures. The suspension is effective immediately, and the establishment is required to submit a remedial plan for re‑inspection before any licence can be reinstated.
While Gallops Restaurant is the primary focus of the current enforcement, the FDA also indicated that four other eateries in the city are under investigation for similar infractions. The agency urged consumers to remain vigilant and report any concerns about food safety.
The move reflects Maharashtra’s broader effort to tighten oversight of food establishments after a series of incidents nationwide that raised questions about compliance with hygiene norms. The FDA will continue routine inspections to ensure that restaurants adhere to the prescribed standards.
