This move aims to ensure food safety standards are upheld in all dining establishments.

After successfully conducting rigorous inspections in hotels and clubs, FSDA teams are now scrutinizing the hygiene and compliance levels of PG kitchens. These inspections are part of a broader initiative to enhance food safety and protect consumer health throughout the region.

  • Objective: The primary goal is to identify and rectify any lapses in food safety protocols.
  • Scope: The inspections will cover all major cities and towns in Karnataka, focusing on high-density areas with a concentration of PG accommodations.
  • Compliance Requirements: Kitchens must adhere to hygiene standards, proper food storage, and staff training in food safety practices.

FSDA officials urge PG operators to cooperate fully during these inspections, emphasizing that any non-compliance could lead to penalties or even closure of facilities.
