The following statement was released by ISKCON Juhu Communications on September 9, 2026:
“ISKCON Juhu recently received a notice from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Government of Maharashtra, following an inspection of our kitchen and food operations conducted on 3 September 2026.
Following the inspection, the authorities assessed our compliance at 70% and identified certain areas requiring corrective action. Our food licence has been temporarily suspended, not cancelled, while these matters are being addressed. The observations primarily relate to procedures, documentation, testing, infrastructure, and other operational and regulatory requirements.
Our representatives are in communication with the authorities, and we have already initiated the necessary corrective measures in accordance with their guidance. We are working diligently to address each of the observations and achieve full compliance with all applicable food safety and regulatory standards at the earliest.
ISKCON has been serving devotees and communities on a large scale for many decades. We recognise that operating at such a scale carries a significant responsibility, and we remain committed to learning, improving and continuously strengthening our systems and standards.
