RAWALPINDI – Poor sanitation and improper food handling are commonly found in low-cost restaurants as there are cases where hygiene standards are not met in eateries, and the latest to join the grim list is a famous fast food chain.
The international food outlet is known for its signature recipe of fried chicken, which includes a secret blend of several herbs and spices, however, it decided to add a ‘forbidden ingredient’, that can cause a life-threatening emergency.
In a recent development, the district administration of Rawalpindi on Friday took action on a customer’s complaint and sealed the Scheme-III outlet over the unhygienic conditions of the kitchen.
Assistant Commissioner Cantonment, Qandeel Fatima Memon, led the operation and sealed the eatery in Garrison City as a customer claimed to have a steel wire inside a burger fillet.
The district administration, after verifying the authenticity of the complaint, sealed the food place and further warned the restaurant to look after their kitchen staff and food preparation method.
Officials said the government would take stern action against those who were playing with the health of people, and there would be no compromise on hygiene.
This is however not the first time they faced action as earlier food authorities in Okara sealed an outlet for serving maggot-filled fried chicken to its customers.
