Food safety officer, Ludhiana, Manoj Khosla said: “We collected two samples of cheese and butter chicken from Chawlas chicken on Chandigarh Road. Though the food was being prepared under hygienic conditions, but the workers were not wearing gloves while serving food. Two samples roasted chicken and cream chicken were collected from Chawlas chicken, Sringar Cinema Road. The food here was being prepared under unhygienic conditions. We have issued notices to owners of both these eateries.”
Food safety officer Harpreet Kaur said: “We collected a sample of aaloo kachauri from Rupali Sweets, Civil Lines as the eatables were being prepared under unhygienic conditions.
