The checks, conducted by the Food and Drugs Administration (FDA) Tuesday, found lapses ranging from unhygienic kitchens and improper storage to missing mandatory labels and inadequate pest control. At KSCA Club, officials found poor personal hygiene among food handlers, plastic cutting boards and blocked drains. “The frozen storage area was unhygienic, while vegetarian and non-vegetarian food was not stored separately. Tilapia fish was found without mandatory labelling. A packet of tur dal reportedly lacked packing date, batch number and MRP.
