CMC Directs Zomato, Swiggy to Delist Non-Compliant Food Outlets

A city office called the Cyberabad Municipal Corporation makes sure restaurants are safe and clean.

It told the food delivery apps Zomato and Swiggy to check that every restaurant on their apps has the right licence to sell food.

In India, restaurants need a special food safety licence from an organization called FSSAI.

The apps must remove restaurants that keep breaking food safety and hygiene rules.

They also have to make sure that many restaurants do not share one licence to pretend they are okay.

The city officials said Zomato and Swiggy agreed to help them with these safety checks.

Next, the office will check shops that sell meat to make sure the meat is safe to eat and stored properly.

After that, they will also inspect vegetable stalls.

All of this is to help people get safer food when they order online.
