Meanwhile, as Mumbaikars have begun planning their Christmas and New Year celebrations, the state’s Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is set to carry out surprise inspections at hotels, bars, restaurants, bakeries, and shops selling festive food items. The aim, Minister Narhari Zirwal said, is to ensure that people receive good-quality and unadulterated food during the peak holiday rush. This year, the FDA’s special drive will target not only New Year’s Eve hotspots but also bakeries and food outlets preparing Christmas and New Year cakes, sweets, and snacks.
According to FDA officials, the campaign is designed to ensure that cake shops, hotels, fast-food joints, and other eateries strictly maintain food safety and hygiene standards.
