Listen to the story

Food safety officers from the FDA in Maharashtra, India, have taken action against three Domino's Pizza outlets, according to a report from NDTV Marathi.

The FDA is the government body responsible for checking that food sold to the public is safe to eat. The report describes the FDA's visit as a raid, which usually means officers arrive without warning to inspect a place.

The three outlets that were checked belong to Domino's, a well-known international pizza chain with many branches in India.

The report's headline warns pizza lovers to be careful, suggesting the FDA may have found some kind of problem at the outlets. However, the summary does not give exact details about what the officers found or what action was taken next.

Food safety inspections like this are common in India. Officers regularly visit restaurants and food shops to make sure they follow health rules.

If problems are found, authorities can issue warnings, fines, or even order a business to stop selling food until it fixes the issue. It is not yet clear which of these steps, if any, were taken against the Domino's outlets.

This story was first reported by NDTV Marathi, a regional news channel that broadcasts in the Marathi language, spoken widely in Maharashtra.

Domino's has not yet responded publicly, and no further comment from the FDA has been reported.

Consumers in the area are advised to stay informed as more details may be released.

This case highlights the ongoing importance of food safety checks in protecting public health across India.
