Hotel sealed

The Food Safety and Drug Administration Department on Friday sealed a hotel in Arumbakkam for supplying unhygienic food.

“We received a complaint from a customer who had visited the hotel. He alleged that there were cockroaches in the food. On inspection, food safety officials found the kitchen in an unhygienic condition. There were cockroaches. So we sealed the hotel,” said an official.

The Food Safety Department will issue an improvement notice to the hotel on Saturday.

If the hotel rectifies the defects in 15 days, the food business operations can continue, said the official.

The officials will create awareness on food safety among food business operators.
