Hoteliers told to follow food safety hygiene standards
The Food Safety officials have issued a public health warning that those eating from restaurants, wayside eateries and canteens should insist on consuming only hot food and boiled drinking water as there could be an increase in water-borne diseases during the monsoon season.
Mandatory standards
All hoteliers and food business operators should ensure that the 30-point mandatory hygiene standards drawn up by the Food Safety wing earlier are being followed without fail. Suspension of licence, issue of closure notice and other criminal prosecution measures will be adopted by the Food Safety wing if food outlets are found to be functioning in violation of the hygiene standards or other specific directives of the Food Safety Officers.
Any complaints of the public regarding the poor hygiene standards of eateries, hostels, canteens or food stalls may be conveyed to the designated Food Safety Officers in districts or the toll-free number of the Office of the Commissioner of Food Safety.
