New Delhi, July 29 -- The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) has suspended the food licence of Delhi-based Park Plaza Hotel, operated by Mahagun Hotels, after uncovering multiple food safety violations, including the use of degraded cooking oil and poor hygiene standards.

In a social media post on Tuesday, the FSSAI said it has suspended "the licence of M/s Park Plaza based in Shahdara, Delhi, with immediate effect."

"Following a thorough inspection, multiple critical and gross non-compliances were observed," the FSSAI said.

During an inspection, the food safety regulator found that the hotel was using heavily deteriorated, darkened cooking oil for frying, making it unsafe for human consumption.
