FDA Suspends Suleman Usman Mithaiwala Food Licence Over Hygiene

The FDA suspended a mithai shop’s food licence because of hygiene problems.

Inspectors found that food areas were too close to sewage lines, drains, and waste areas.

This means food may have been near trash.

They also found drains without protective traps.

These drains could allow pests and harmful contaminants to reach surfaces where food is handled.

Mithai is ready-to-eat food.

People usually do not cook it again before eating it.

That is why keeping its preparation and storage areas clean and separate from waste is important.
