Colva: A food safety officer of the Food and Drugs Administration (FDA) on Friday ordered the closure of six restaurants at Colva, which were found to be functioning under unhygienic and unsanitary conditions.
FDA director Salim Veljee said that as many as nine restaurants were inspected along the coastal belt on Friday as part of the drive conducted by the department.
While one restaurant was found to be functioning without a food safety licence, a number of violations were noted at other restaurants.
The violations included using artificial colours in cooking, unfiltered water, uncovered dustbins, washing utensils in the open area, filthy kitchen conditions, etc. Also, cooks in some restaurants did not use aprons.
FDA officials even found a rat at one of the restaurants.
