FSSAI notices Delhi Andaz and JW Marriott over food safety
The Hindu BusinessLine··27 Aug
FSSAI issued notices to Delhi Aerocity hotels Andaz and JW Marriott after inspections found hygiene and pest-control failures, including cockroaches near freezers. JW Marriott, run by Aria Hotels, was also flagged for retailing food under its brand without the required licence endorsement. Officials collected samples at both properties. Further action depends on compliance and lab results, the regulator said.
