Following a recent food safety drive, Karnataka authorities have issued notices to 25 units for non‑compliance.
The state food safety department in Karnataka has taken regulatory action after completing a targeted inspection drive. Inspectors visited a range of food establishments and identified 25 units that failed to meet prescribed safety standards. Each of these units has now received a formal notice outlining the specific violations and the corrective measures required.
The notices serve as a warning and give the operators a stipulated period to rectify the deficiencies. Failure to comply could lead to further penalties, including suspension of licenses. The department emphasized that the drive aims to protect consumers from adulterated or unsafe sweet products, which have been a recurring concern in the region.
Authorities have urged the public to remain vigilant and report any suspicious food practices. The food safety officials also indicated that similar inspections will continue across the state to ensure broader compliance with hygiene norms.
