The food safety department sealed a Zepto warehouse in Hoskote, Bengaluru, and imposed a ₹25,000 fine for violations of safety standards.
The food safety department of Karnataka sealed a Zepto warehouse located in Hoskote, a suburb of Bengaluru, after discovering violations of food safety regulations. Authorities cited non-compliance with storage and hygiene protocols as the primary reason for the closure. The company was fined ₹25,000 for the infractions.
The sealing order was issued following a routine inspection that revealed lapses in temperature control and pest management. Zepto, a popular online grocery platform, has faced scrutiny over its supply chain practices in recent months.
The fine is part of a broader crackdown on food safety violations across the state. The department has warned other retailers to ensure strict adherence to health and safety guidelines to avoid similar penalties.
