The Chief Food Safety officer, who had ordered closure of a restaurant in Technopark citing poor hygiene, was more than surprised when he visited the hotel again on Tuesday to review the situation. Hiding the notice of the Food Safety Commissioner, the authorities of the Kalpaka sea food restaurant had placed another notice stating that the hotel was closed down for maintenance and would be opened on Wednesday.
“We have again ordered them to close down the hotel until they meet the standards set by the Food Safety Authority,” said Chief Food Safety Officer D Sivakumar.
The Food Safety Authority had served notices to more than 10 food outlets in Technopark in an inspection conducted three days ago owing to poor sanitation facilities.
Techies, who depends a lot on fast and junk foods, are a worried lot. In the wake of recent controversies related to the ‘shawarma’ incident, more techies are opting for homely food.
Recently, employees of the IBS Software Services Private Limited had a strange experience from a food outlet in Technopark. “We were served rotten chicken from Chicking in Technopark. We have filed a complaint before the Food Safety Commissioner through email. However, he hasn’t responded yet,” said Binoy, an employee of the IBS.
Not just the food joints in Technopark, hotels on Kazhakoottam area too have been served with notices for poor hygiene prompting the techies to opt for homely food services offered by nearby houses.
Some of the techies are regular visitors of nearby Punjabi Dhabas which serve healthy and tasty vegetarian foods. A good number of techies bring food from home too.
For techies, it is time to say good bye to sodexo coupons, at least for some time.
