Investigation into the source of 1000 kg of rancid meat seized from an abandoned shed in West Kochi is yet to gather pace.
A court here had denied bail to Kochukoya, the person arrested in the case.
Neither
the police nor the Food Safety Inspectors in the district have a clue
on the network of supply of the rancid meat that had been finding its
way into various hotels and bakeries as minced meat at a throwaway
price. It is believed that the meat came from Andhra Pradesh and Tamil
Nadu.
The police told
The Hindu
that there were rumours that a person from Andhra Pradesh connected to
the rotten meat supply will soon be surrendering before the court here.
A Food Safety inspector in the district told
the Hindu
that they had a strategy in place for inspection soon in a special drive.
The
Bakers Association of Kerala (BAKE) has sought strict intervention by
the Food Safety Commissioner in the case. The association had announced
prize money of Rs. one lakh to anyone who would provide information in
the case. The government had also announced a reward in the case, he
said.
