Mohali, October 5
Two food samples collected from Barbeque Nation at Phase V at Mohali have failed quality test. The tests were conducted at Punjab State Food Analysis Laboratory, Sector 11, Chandigarh.
Husan Lal, commissioner, Food Safety, Punjab, said one of the samples had been declared unfit for human consumption, while the second sample was of substandard quality. “The report of other samples is yet to be received,” he said.
The food samples were collected from Barbeque Nation on September 26 when 22 persons, including women and children, were taken ill after having food.
“Action will be taken against the restaurant under the Food Security and Safety Act, 2006,” said district health officer Dr Gursharan Singh. He added that the owner of the restaurant could face three-year imprisonment and a fine of Rs 10 lakh.
The Mohali police has already registered a case against the owner and staff of the restaurant at the Phase I police station.
