21 units found preparing food in unhygienic environments
Noticing stray incidents of food poisoning, food safety squads have resumed surprise inspections at restaurants and hotels delivering takeaways. In the initial round of the special drive, food was found being prepared in unhygienic environments at 21 units. Members of the squads said they had covered 110 outlets with the support of three field-level units in a week. Food samples were collected from 30 places for examination. After the easing of regulations, food-based ventures have been doing brisk business. There are even entrepreneurs who ventured into the business without obtaining licence. Wayside food stalls also mushroomed following the suspension of dine-in services at hotels and restaurants.More Related News
