FSSAI Suspends Seven Seas Hospitality Licence Over Hygiene Violations

The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) has suspended the licence of Seven Seas Hospitality after discovering severe hygiene and sanitation breaches at its premises. The regulatory action followed an inspection that revealed multiple violations, including foul odours emanating from food preparation areas, visible fungal growth, and accumulated filth throughout the facility.

The hospitality company's poor performance during the compliance audit was reflected in a compliance score of merely 30 per cent, significantly below acceptable standards set by FSSAI. The regulator found conditions that posed serious risks to food safety and public health, prompting immediate intervention.

The suspension of the operating licence is expected to remain in effect until the company demonstrates complete remediation of identified deficiencies and achieves satisfactory compliance with food safety regulations. Seven Seas Hospitality will be required to undergo rigorous inspections and corrective measures before being considered for licence restoration.

This action underscores FSSAI's commitment to enforcing stringent food safety standards across the hospitality and food service sector. The regulator has intensified monitoring of food establishments to protect consumers from health hazards arising from poor sanitation practices and hygiene violations.
