Bengaluru Hockey Club Faces Food Safety Notice Over Expired Drinks and Hygiene IssuesPreviousNext

A food safety inspection at Bengaluru's Vivekanagar Hockey Club uncovered 40 bottles of expired soft drinks, pest infestation, and unhygienic conditions in food preparation and storage areas. Officials also seized improperly labelled products not meeting Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) requirements. The Food Safety Division issued a notice to the club's food business operator and indicated that further legal action will follow under the Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006. Continuous inspections are planned to enforce food safety standards.
