Inspection Ready — know before they knock
Food Safety Officers inspect against FSSAI Schedule 4 and state FDA orders. Critical findings — missing licence, unhygienic prep, no medical fitness, reused cooking oil, missing water sign — can lead to fines up to ₹10 lakh, licence cancellation, or closure.
