A video capturing two rats scurrying across tables and chairs in a McDonald's outlet in Rajkot has raised concerns among patrons and led to action from the local government. Recorded by a customer, the footage showed the rodents moving about the seating area, prompting widespread sharing on social media and drawing attention to the restaurant's hygiene and pest-control practices.
Rajkot Municipal Corporation's food department conducted an inspection of the outlet and confirmed the presence of rats in the party section, suggesting they may have entered from outside. Municipal health officer Jayesh Vakani stated that while no major hygiene issues were found, the incident underscored the need for robust pest-control measures in food establishments.
As a result, the restaurant was fined ₹3,000 for poor cleanliness. Additionally, samples of toned milk and strawberry fruit crush were collected for laboratory testing under food safety regulations. This inspection was part of a city-wide initiative by the Rajkot Municipal Corporation, which inspected 53 establishments for potential food adulteration, hygiene lapses, and other violations.
The drive resulted in the destruction of 65 kg of stale and inedible food and the issuance of notices to 18 establishments for various shortcomings.
