Food safety enforcement in Indore

Overview

Food safety authorities in Indore, Madhya Pradesh, have conducted a series of inspections resulting in the sealing of kitchens and the suspension of food licenses for several establishments.

In late August, the Sayaji Hotel kitchen was sealed following a 10-hour inspection that uncovered significant hygiene and regulatory violations. Inspectors reported finding approximately 66 kilograms of unpackaged non-vegetarian food without proper labeling, moldy produce, and evidence of pests such as cockroaches and rat droppings. The hotel’s food license was also found to be insufficient for its specific operations.

Following these actions, authorities expanded their crackdown to include HeyDeli Pizza, BigBasket, and Social Indore LLP. These establishments had their licenses suspended after failing to address previous improvement notices. Reported violations included the use of rusty utensils, food prepared in burnt oil, improper storage of food alongside non-food materials, and a lack of required medical fitness certificates for staff. The affected businesses were ordered to cease food operations immediately.
