The iconic Rustom Parlour has been ordered to shut down after the food inspection by FDA, which led to the suspension of licence over alleged food and safety violations. The action was taken during a surprise inspection under the FDA's 'Safe Food, Safe Maharashtra' campaign launched under the direction of FDA Commissioner Tukaram Mundhe. The licence of the shop was suspended due to food safety and hygiene violations, including rodent infestation, presence of flies, and the use of expired flavouring agents. The outlet will remain closed until laboratory reports on seized food samples are received.
