Pizza outlets operated by Jubilant FoodWorks Ltd at Vile Parle West, Borivali West and R-City Mall in Ghatkopar West during a special drive against chain restaurants, news agency PTI reported.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"8\"\/>The Vile Parle outlet was found to have deficiencies related to the display of its FSSAI licence, potable water, food storage, pest control and hygiene facilities.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"12\"\/>The FDA directed it to ensure proper temperature monitoring of frozen food, segregation of food and non-food items, rodent and pest prevention, and adequate hand-washing and hygiene facilities.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"14\"\/>At the Borivali outlet, the FDA found 15% non-compliance and directed corrective measures covering food storage, temperature monitoring, food testing, cleanliness and pest control.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"16\"\/>It also sought proper segregation of raw and cooked food as well as vegetarian and non-vegetarian food, along with regular sanitisation of equipment and utensils.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"19\"\/>The Ghatkopar outlet was found deficient in cleanliness, sanitation scheduling and pest control measures.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"21\"\/>It also failed to follow FIFO (First In, First Out) and FEFO (First Expired, First Out) practices and maintain proper temperature control in food storage, the FDA said.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"23\"\/>The authority also flagged the absence of food-grade certificates and records relating to calibration, preventive maintenance, food and water testing and food safety.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"26\"\/>The licence of the Domino&#8217;s Pizza outlet operated by Jubilant FoodWorks at Malkapur and two other fast-food outlets operated by Sapphire Foods India at Karad in Satara district were also suspended, the FDA

control.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"30\"\/>At the Karad establishments, the FDA prescribed corrective measures for pizza preparation, including separate ovens and proper segregation of vegetarian and non-vegetarian pizzas, separate pans, and appropriate labelling of sauces and pizza toppings with packing and expiry dates.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"33\"\/>The special drive covered 104 chain restaurant establishments across Maharashtra.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"35\"\/>Two establishments were ordered to stop business, 95 were served

water, equipment and pest control, among others.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"47\"\/>In Mumbai, the authority also suspended the licences of Mumbai Metro Dhaba in Mulund and Gulshan-Da-Punjabi Dhaba in Bhandup after inspections found shortcomings in basic facilities, cleanliness, water, ventilation, pest control and food storage.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"50\"\/>Overall, the FDA inspected 120 establishments over the last few days, issued 54 improvement notices and suspended 11 food business licences, it said.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"52\"\/>The authority has launched a massive crackdown against violations of food safety and hygiene norms at food establishments, including famous hotels and clubs, ever since Mundhe took over as FDA commissioner in May.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"54\"\/>(With agency inputs)<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a
