Bengaluru hotels raided: 132 kg rotten food, fungus-infected meat, expired curd seized in Karnataka's food safety drive
The Food Safety Department's fresh round of inspections in Bengaluru has led to the seizure of over 132 kg of food articles, including rotten chicken and beef, with a UB City kitchen shut down after fungus-infected meat was found on the premises.
In a recent food safety drive in Bengaluru, Karnataka's Food Safety and Drug Administration (FDA) Department seized a total of 132 kg of rotten food articles from multiple three-star and five-star hotels across the city. The inspections, conducted by 30 teams, uncovered a variety of issues including incorrect labeling, expired products, poor storage practices, fungal contamination, and improper separation of vegetarian and non-vegetarian items.
Hotels like Sky, Royal Chain, Madras Kitchen, Tescon, and Senchez were among those affected. The seized items included chicken, beef, duck, fish, vegetables, cheese, and various spices. The drive was prompted by public complaints on social media about unhygienic practices and the sale of substandard food. The Food Safety Act, 2006 will now be used to adjudicate the violations.
