Nationwide Food Safety Raids Expose Adulteration Across India

Food-safety teams carried out raids in many parts of India.

They checked restaurants, fast-food outlets, delivery services and five-star establishments.

The raids reportedly found some food that was adulterated or past its expiry date.

Some kitchens were also described as dirty and infested.

This means the food may not have been prepared in a safe place.

The discoveries have raised questions about how food businesses are inspected.

They have also led to concerns about whether existing rules are enforced properly.

The briefing asks whether stricter food-safety laws are needed.
