Rotten meat, fungus on veggies: Bengaluru's 3-star, 5-star hotels in soup over food safety violations
An inspection across 26 hotels uncovered the stark food safety violations in Bengaluru as expired milk, bakery items among other rotten food items were found.
Several luxury hotels in Bengaluru are currently facing scrutiny from the Food Safety and Drug Administration (FDA) department due to multiple food safety violations. These violations include unhygienic storage, fungal growth on vegetables, and inadequate segregation of vegetarian and non-vegetarian food items. The FDA's Food Safety Wing has launched a special inspection drive across 26 hotels, uncovering issues such as the use of rotten meat, chicken, fish, and expired bakery products.
The regulatory body has sent notices to the concerned Food Business Operators (FBOs) and will initiate adjudication proceedings under the provisions of the Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006. The Karnataka Health and Family Welfare Department has also constituted 30 special teams to conduct surprise inspections at hotels, restaurants, and food outlets across the state in response to a rise in complaints over poor food quality, hygiene, and food safety violations.
