India food safety agency flags hygiene violations at New Delhi JW Marriott ahead of BRICS summit

India’s Food Safety and Standards Authority (FSSAI) found multiple hygiene violations at the JW Marriott hotel in New Delhi, including cockroaches, flies, and expired food, according to a Techub News brief citing watcher.guru. The property, operated under Marriott International, is one of two hotels designated to host foreign guests for the 2026 BRICS summit. FSSAI officials also seized 87 kilograms of expired desserts at a Hyatt hotel and opened an investigation into the supplier. The 2026 BRICS summit is scheduled for Sept. 12-13. The event may include discussions on cross-border interoperability for central bank digital currencies, or CBDCs, among member states, as well as settlement in local currencies. The report ties the food safety findings to venues linked to a high-profile diplomatic event, though no further enforcement details were disclosed in the source provided.
