The details

  • Food Safety Administration in Indore suspended food licences of HeyDeli Pizza, BigBasket, and Social Indore on 31 August 2026.
  • The suspension was under Section 32(2) of the Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006 and Rule 2.1.8(1) of the Food Safety and Standards Rules, 2011.
  • HeyDeli Pizza, operated by Shri Harikrishna Group at Gemini Mall, Scheme No. 54, Indore, was found with cockroaches in the kitchen, rusty utensils, food prepared in burnt oil, inadequate cleanliness, open dustbins, and no pest control records.
  • HeyDeli Pizza failed to respond satisfactorily to an improvement notice within the prescribed period.
  • BigBasket, operated by Innovative Retail Concepts Private Limited at B-7, Scheme No. 54, PU-4 Commercial, Indore, had raw materials stored unorganised, food and non-food items kept together, and no medical fitness certificates or required documents.
  • BigBasket failed to provide satisfactory response or evidence of compliance after an improvement notice.
  • Social Indore LLP, located at C21 Business Park opposite Radisson Blu Hotel on MR-10, Indore, stored vegetarian and non-vegetarian food together in the same deep freezer and had no lab reports for water and food testing.
  • Social Indore failed to respond satisfactorily to an improvement notice.
  • All three establishments were directed to remove perishable items and stop food business during suspension.
