Near-expiry sauces, beverages found at suppliers to Bengaluru’s five-star hotels
Food safety authorities in Bengaluru seized near-expiry sauces and beverages from suppliers serving five-star hotels following a series of inspections. These actions are part of a broader crackdown on food safety violations, including unhygienic storage and poor handling practices.
Why it matters
The crackdown highlights significant food safety risks in the hospitality industry and the importance of regulatory oversight in protecting public health.
Nearly 70 kg of soy sauce and other sauces and 10 litres of beverages nearing their expiry dates were seized from two food storage facilities in Bengaluru on Saturday (August 8). The facilities supply food items, including meat and fish, to five-star hotels and other caterers in the city.
The action came a day after the Food Safety and Drug Administration (FSDA) found large quantities of stale meat and vegetables during inspections at several star hotels in Bengaluru.
The inspection continued on Saturday, and 30 teams of Designated Officers and Food Safety Officers cracked down on food storage and distribution facilities. The teams inspected facilities operated by Coldman Logistics Private Limited and Radhakrishna Foodland Limited. They checked the quality of food stored at the facilities, along with the storage and safety measures in place.
