Health officials have issued notices to the kitchen units of five medical college hostels in Karnataka after finding expired rava and milk in their supplies.
Karnataka health authorities inspected the kitchen facilities of five government‑run medical college hostels and discovered that rava and milk stored in the premises were past their expiry dates. The inspection report, obtained from the state health department, noted that the expired items had been used in meals served to resident students.
The officials issued formal notices to the respective college administrations, directing them to discard the expired stock, conduct a thorough audit of all food supplies, and implement stricter procurement checks. They warned that non‑compliance could attract penalties under the state's food safety regulations.
College representatives said they would cooperate with the directives and have already begun removing the identified items. They also assured students that fresh, safe ingredients will be used for all future meals while the audit is underway.
