Bengaluru: The arehouses of an Indira Canteen in Gottigere and a quick-commerce unicorn in Hoskote were sealed after officials found “unhygienic” food handling and storage conditions during an inspection drive on Tuesday, officials said.
The Food Safety and Drug Administration department inspected three kitchens of Indira canteens here through which the government serves highly subsided food, officials said.
Indira Canteens are the Congress government’s flagship initiatives which were started by former Chief Minister Siddaramaiah during his previous stint from 2013 to 2018.
“During the inspections, various food safety violations were observed, including non-compliant labelling, misbranding, unhygienic food handling conditions and other violations of FSSAI requirements,” the department said, in a statement.
“In view of the unhygienic food handling and storage conditions observed, the warehouse was sealed in accordance with the applicable FSSAI provisions,” it said, in the statement.
