Dog meat served in Bengaluru hotels? Police seize 90 cartons; send samples to food laboratory
The Karnataka Food Safety and Standards Authority (FSSA) Commissionerate on Saturday responded to the controversy surrounding the alleged supply of dog meat to Bengaluru hotels, stating that meat seized from a railway station the previous night had been sent to a food laboratory for analysis, according to an official release from the Karnataka Health Department.
The statement came after allegations surfaced on Friday evening suggesting that dog meat was being transported from Rajasthan to Bengaluru hotels, prompting protests from various groups. The government assured that appropriate action would be taken based on the laboratory results of the seized meat.
There were 90 parcels, and upon inspection, animal meat was found in them. Samples were collected and sent to the food laboratory for analysis regarding the species of the animals. Based on the analysis reports, further legal actions will be taken.
The Commissionerate stated that on Friday evening it was reported that mutton and other meat were being supplied to Bengaluru via train. A police team and officials from the Karnataka FSSA went to the railway station and conducted an inspection.
During the inspection, it was found that parcels that had arrived by train from Rajasthan were being loaded into a vehicle on the outer premises of the station.
“Detailed information about the FSSAI licences of the senders and recipients of the parcels is being collected. If any discrepancies are found, further legal action will be initiated as per regulations,” the statement said.
