Six squads were deployed at hostels and canteens functioning in various educational institutions in Aluva, Thripunithura, Thrikkakara, Ernakulam, Kalamassery, and Muvattupuzha on the instructions of the Food Safety Commissioner. The checks followed complaints about shortcomings in the preparation and handling of food.
The mess at Manjooran’s women’s hostel was shut down after officials found stale food stored in the refrigerator. Compounding notices were served on nine erring institutions for food safety norm violations. They will have to remit fines imposed on the basis of shortcomings detected.
