Kerala Consumer Commission Orders Rs 60,000 Compensation Over Contaminated Ramzan Food
A Kerala consumer commission ordered a hypermarket to pay Rs 60,000 to a woman after her family fell ill from food purchased to break their Ramzan fast. The family experienced abdominal pain, nausea, and loose motions after consuming items like beef liver pepper and chicken 65. The hypermarket denied selling contaminated food and challenged the medical evidence. The commission found no proof of food safety from the hypermarket and held it liable for deficient service, also noting alleged social media retaliation against the complainant.
