The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India has cancelled the licence of EatClub’s Mumbai restaurant after an inspection by officer Tukaram Mundhe uncovered violations of food‑safety standards.
The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) has withdrawn the operating licence of EatClub’s outlet in Mumbai. The action follows a routine inspection carried out by senior food‑safety officer Tukaram Mundhe, who flagged several non‑compliance issues.
Inspectors found lapses in hygiene practices, inadequate temperature control of stored food, and insufficient documentation of supplier approvals. Such breaches are deemed serious under the Food Safety and Standards Act, prompting immediate suspension of the licence until corrective measures are verified.
EatClub, which owns popular quick‑service brands Box8 and Mojo Pizza, now faces a temporary shutdown of its flagship Mumbai location. The revocation is expected to impact the chain’s supply chain and revenue streams in the city, although the parent company has not disclosed a timeline for reopening.
The incident underscores a broader crackdown by the FSSAI across major urban centres, where authorities are intensifying audits to ensure compliance with food‑safety norms. Business owners have been urged to review internal protocols to avoid similar penalties.
