FDA Suspends Licence of Pune’s Café Goodluck Following Safety Violations

The FDA has ordered the 90-year-old café closed until it fixes hygiene failures ahead of lab results on suspected glass shards.

Overview

  • The Maharashtra Food and Drug Administration suspended Café Goodluck’s food licence on Saturday after an inspection revealed multiple breaches of safety norms.
  • Inspectors recorded violations including broken kitchen tiles, overflowing uncovered dustbins, an unhygienic fridge and missing staff health check records.
  • A viral social media video last Friday showed alleged glass shards in the café’s bun maska, prompting the FDA probe and sample collection.
  • Samples of the bun maska have been dispatched to a laboratory and results are expected later this week.
  • Established in 1935, the beloved F.C. Road institution must resolve all hygiene lapses before its licence can be reinstated.
