Inspections and Survey Highlight Hygiene Issues in Indian Restaurants and Hotels
Recent inspections and surveys reveal widespread hygiene concerns in India's restaurants, including luxury hotels. In Bengaluru, authorities sealed kitchens in several five-star hotels after finding expired and rotten food items. A nationwide survey found only 32% of consumers rate air-conditioned restaurants' hygiene as good or excellent, with many citing dirty kitchens and poor sanitation. Maharashtra's FDA also suspended licenses of several clubs due to infestations and unhygienic conditions, highlighting ongoing challenges in food safety enforcement.
