COIMBATORE: A day after a 14-year-old girl died after eating ‘shawarma’ in Namakkal, officials of Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) began a crack down on hotels selling dishes made of rotten meat in the Western region. Nearly, 10 teams of FSSAI have begun to inspect hotels and eateries selling fast food items like shawarma and grilled chicken. “A temporary ban has been enforced in Namakkal against selling shawarma and other fast food items in the wake of the girl’s death. Notices were served on hotels selling non-vegetarian food items with old meat,” said official. Following the girl’s death, the ill-fated hotel was sealed and its owner Naveen Kumar along with two north Indian cooks was arrested by police.
