Karnataka Deploys 30 Teams for Food Safety Inspections

The government of Karnataka, a state in India, wants to make sure the food people eat at restaurants and hotels is safe.

Recently, lots of people complained that food was dirty, low quality, or not safe.

Some videos on social media showed kitchens that were not clean and food with fake colours.

So the health department made 30 special teams to check hotels and restaurants without telling them first.

The teams will look at kitchens, food storage, and whether ingredients are old or not allowed.

They will also check for chemicals and colours that are banned because they can be bad for health.

Restaurants that break the rules could lose their licence or get in trouble with the police.

The checks will happen in Bengaluru and other busy cities in Karnataka.

Later, the teams will also check schools, hostels, and places that serve food for events.

Regular people can help by telling the government if they see bad food being served.
