The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) has suspended the food business licence of Seven Seas Hospitality after inspectors documented multiple critical safety breaches at the establishment.
The inspection revealed alarming conditions including fungal growth on stored food materials, presence of insects in the facility, poor hygiene practices, accumulation of filth, and persistent foul odours. These violations constitute serious breaches of food safety standards set by the regulator.
The suspension marks another significant enforcement action by FSSAI, which has intensified scrutiny of food service establishments across the country. The regulator has the authority to suspend or cancel licences of operators who fail to maintain prescribed safety and hygiene standards.
Seven Seas Hospitality will be required to address all flagged violations and demonstrate compliance with food safety norms before the regulator considers restoration of its operating licence. The action underscores the importance of maintaining sanitary conditions in food preparation and storage facilities.
