Rajasthan's Food Safety Department conducted a pre-Diwali inspection at a Flipkart Minutes dark store in Jaipur's Sanganer area, uncovering hygiene violations and damaged packaging. Samples of various food items were seized for laboratory analysis.
The Food Safety Department of Rajasthan launched a surprise inspection at a Flipkart Minutes dark store located in the Sanganer area of Jaipur ahead of the Diwali festival. The primary objective of the drive was to ensure that food items available for quick delivery met strict hygiene and safety standards.
During the inspection, officials discovered significant hygiene lapses within the facility. Reports indicate the presence of general dirt and poor storage conditions that compromised the quality of the inventory. Additionally, several food packets were found to be damaged, raising concerns about potential contamination.
As a precautionary measure, the departmental team collected samples of multiple food items for detailed laboratory testing. The items seized for analysis include ghee, Cadbury's KitKat (referred to as Catchup in local reports), sweets, milk, and paneer. The samples will undergo rigorous testing to determine if they are safe for consumption.
This action is part of a broader state-level initiative to monitor food safety in the e-commerce and quick-commerce sectors. Authorities have emphasized that any violations found during the lab tests could lead to severe legal action against the store operators.
