Mumbai, August 12, 2026: The Maharashtra Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has suspended the food business licences of three Domino’s Pizza outlets in Mumbai, along with two chain restaurants in Satara district and two dhabas in Mumbai, following inspections that found multiple violations of food safety and hygiene norms.

According to FDA officials, the action against the three outlets operated by Jubilant FoodWorks Ltd. was taken after violations of Schedule 4 of the Food Safety and Standards (Licensing and Registration of Food Businesses) Regulations, 2011, were detected.

Vile Parle Outlet Violations

At the Vile Parle West outlet, FDA officials found deficiencies in FSSAI licence display, potable water testing, food storage, pest control and hygiene facilities. The establishment was also directed to ensure proper temperature control of frozen food, maintain cleanliness in food storage and preparation areas, and prevent the entry of rodents and pests.

Borivali Outlet Deficiencies

At the Borivali West outlet, deficiencies were reported in food storage, temperature monitoring and food testing. Officials also flagged inadequate segregation of raw and cooked food as well as vegetarian and non-vegetarian food, poor sanitisation of equipment and utensils, grease and food residue in the preparation area, and inadequate pest-control measures.

The Domino’s outlet at R-City Mall, Ghatkopar West, was found lacking proper cleaning and sanitation schedules and pest-control records.
