MAHARASTRA FDA

The FDA has been running a big statewide crackdown since May 2026. In that drive, 165 licences have been suspended out of 3,137 establishments inspected 

About the Domino's claim

I checked the latest FDA reports and press releases. In the recent July 2026 enforcement drive, the FDA suspended licences of 4 eateries in Mumbai and 3 restaurants, 5 Mumbai clubs, 6 eateries for hygiene violations. 

But there’s no specific mention of 4 Domino's outlets in the official FDA releases and news reports I found in the last 30 days. The outlets named so far include K Rustom's, Rehmania Restaurant, Noor Mohammadi Hotel, Shalimar Hospitality, and several clubs/hotels. 

It’s possible:

The news is about a different chain, or

It was part of a local action not yet in the main FDA bulletins, or

The number "4 Domino's" refers to notices/improvement notices, not full suspension

What FDA is finding in the crackdown

Common violations leading to suspension:

Hygiene lapses: grease on floors, pest/insect infestation, peeling paint, poor drainage

Documentation: missing medical fitness certificates, FoSTaC training, food/water testing records

Storage: improper segregation of raw/cooked/veg/non-veg, expired products

Equipment: rusted utensils, freeze chiller without temp display 

What suspension means

The outlet must stop purchasing, manufacturing, storing, selling food until FDA re-inspects and lifts suspension

After fixing violations, they have to submit a compliance report. FDA may do a physical reinspection before reopening
