Mangaluru KFC outlet sealed following spoiled chicken complaint

Mangaluru: Food safety officials executed a surprise raid on a KFC outlet located at the City Centre mall on KS Rao Road in Mangaluru.

The inspection was prompted by a customer complaint alleging that an online order from the restaurant contained spoiled, foul-smelling chicken.

During the operation, officials thoroughly inspected the outlet's kitchen, storeroom, and cold storage units, ultimately sealing off the establishment's go-down. Food samples were collected on-site and dispatched to a laboratory for comprehensive testing.
