This maps what FSSAI and state FDA inspectors are flagging across India right now to the exact routine check that passes each one. Start with the table: every finding, and the daily, weekly or monthly check that catches it. The sourced enforcement record it is built from follows below. Last updated 2026-08-14. Nothing here is speculation. Every action below is reported by named news organisations, linked.

| Rotten / fungal vegetables | Bengaluru - 200 kg at one property | Daily fresh-produce inspection with discard log |
| Not keeping veg and non-veg food separate | Mumbai (Jul) and Bengaluru (Aug) | Daily check for keeping veg and non-veg food separate - storage, prep and display |

| Missing food-handler health records | Mumbai clubs (Jul) | Monthly records & documentation review |

| Labelling / misbranding failures | Bengaluru hotels (Aug) | Weekly labelling, packaging & menu-claims checks |
Every row above traces to a real action from the current wave. Here is that record, city by city, each finding linked to the news organisation that reported it.
In four days (24–27 July), Maharashtra FDA suspended six FSSAI licences. The reasons given differ by business. We list each one exactly as its source reported it. Cricket Club of India: live cockroaches and flies, expired food, and mouldy vegetables. Also found: poor storage, wrong labelling, and not keeping veg and non-veg food separate enough. Willingdon Sports Club: slippery, unclean floors, dirty drains, out-of-date food and water test reports, poor food-handler hygiene. MIG Cricket Club: cockroach infestation, unhygienic conditions, and not keeping veg and non-veg food separate. Also found: missing handler medical records, poor testing records, and an unauthorised catering company operating without a licence. RK Juhu Gymkhana and Aparna Juhu Gymkhana: suspensions reported, individual grounds not detailed in the sources. Poornima Restaurant (Fort): suspended 24 July. The owner has taken the case to the Bombay High Court. The owner challenges the FDA action and disputes the findings as, in the source's words, “flawed and false”. The court has not yet decided, so none of the grounds above should be read as established against Poornima. Goregaon Sports Club (Malad West) was issued a stop-business notice for operating without a licence. Punjab Grill Navi Mumbai was suspended. Two outlets closed. IIT Bombay's Hostel 1 & 3 messes were shut for operating with no licence. Ongoing rules: don't reuse cooking oil, give free safe drinking water, use food-grade packaging, get a valid licence before opening, and don't post misleading menus. There is also a statewide ban on junk food (HFSS - high in fat, sugar and salt) within 50 m of schools (29 Jul). Complaint helpline: 1800-222-365.

Four successive sweeps through July suspended 10, 12, 6 and 21 licences (49 total). These included a Blinkit dark store, Ashok Bar and Surabhi Hotel & Bar. Seizures totalled ₹50.65 lakh + ₹3.48 lakh. Each round is separately sourced below. 10 licences came from inspections on 16–17 July (Pune Pulse). 12 licences came with ₹3.48 lakh seized (Free Press Journal). 6 licences came from 373 establishments inspected on 21–22 July (Punekar News). 21 licences came with ₹50.65 lakh seized, from inspections between 23 and 29 July (Pune Pulse). Enforcement against banned gutkha and pan masala also led to criminal cases. This happened only in the round with a source for it. In the 21–22 July division-wide drive, police registered three FIRs. They arrested 10 people and seized 11 vehicles along with the banned goods (Punekar News). No source we can verify reports arrest, FIR or vehicle-seizure figures for the other three rounds. So none are claimed here.

On 7 August, 30 teams of Karnataka's Food Safety Wing raided 26 three/five-star hotels on the Health Minister's directive.

Four Seasons, Shangri-La and Vivanta Whitefield had violations too. These included expired meat/dairy/bakery, fungal produce, and not keeping veg and non-veg food separate. Labelling and mislabelling problems were also found. 35 lab samples were taken. Notices were issued. The cases are now being decided under the FSS Act 2006 and Licensing & Registration Regulations 2011.

By 9–11 August the Bengaluru drive had reached quick-service chains. Outlets of KFC, McDonald's and Subway and their supplying warehouses were inspected. More than 1,000 kg of food was seized across the drive, and 77 samples were drawn. A McDonald's outlet on Brigade Road received a notice over magnesium sulphite (MgSO3) used to treat used frying oil. In Mumbai, an overnight FDA raid on 13–14 August sealed a Parle Agro distribution warehouse in Chembur over expired stock. The raid also seized two vehicles. This is the same “nothing expired, anywhere” failure the daily use-by sweep is built to catch.
