The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) has issued notices to JW Marriott and Juniper Hotels over food-safety and regulatory lapses found at their properties in Delhi’s Aerocity.
According to the regulator, JW Marriott New Delhi Aerocity was found carrying out certain retailing and relabelling activities without the required endorsements on its FSSAI licence. This included retailing food products under the JW Marriott brand.
FSSAI also observed deficiencies in the labelling of some pre-packaged food products. These included misprinted FSSAI licence numbers and failure to declare the complete address of the manufacturer.
Responding to the observations, a JW Marriott Hotel New Delhi Aerocity spokesperson said the hotel maintains rigorous food safety, hygiene and quality standards and is fully cooperating with local authorities. The hotel said it would take necessary action based on the findings.
Separately, FSSAI identified several food-safety and hygiene deficiencies at Andaz Delhi Aerocity, a property operated by Juniper Hotels. The issues included improper segregation of vegetarian and non-vegetarian food, pest activity, poor sanitation, inadequate hygiene among food handlers and improper food-storage practices.
Inspectors also found expired food products, including cake base and bread packets. Expired sweets discovered during the inspection were discarded on the spot.
FSSAI collected regulatory and surveillance samples for analysis. The products sampled included cow ghee, vegetarian mayonnaise, creamy coconut milk powder, honey twigs, yellow masoor dal, tomato sauce, orange marmalade and coconut cookies.
Andaz Delhi Aerocity said an FSSAI inspection was conducted at the property on June 22, 2026. The hotel said it had fully cooperated with officials, provided the information sought and submitted a detailed action-taken report.
The property added that it had acted promptly to address the observations and would continue reviewing and strengthening its food-safety and hygiene practices while working with regulatory authorities.
