Developments: 2. 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. ## Timeline ### 2026-08-31: Indore food authorities suspend licenses for BigBasket, HeyDeli Pizza, and Social Indore Food licenses for HeyDeli Pizza, BigBasket, and Social Indore LLP have been suspended in Indore following inspections that revealed serious hygiene violations and failure to comply with improvement notices. 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/indore-food-authorities-suspend-licenses-for-bigbasket-heydeli-pizza-and-social-indore ### 2026-08-21: Sayaji Hotel Indore kitchen sealed after food safety inspection Food safety officials in Indore sealed the kitchen and revoked the food license of Sayaji Hotel after a 10-hour inspection revealed pest infestations, improper food storage, and expired ingredients. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/sayaji-hotel-indore-kitchen-sealed-after-food-safety-inspection --- Cite as: Food safety enforcement in Indore.
