The Karnataka Food Safety Department’s inspection of two ice‑cream outlets in Bengaluru revealed the use of expired raw materials, prompting regulatory scrutiny.
The Karnataka Food Safety Department (FDA) conducted routine inspections at two ice‑cream units in Bengaluru and discovered that both were using ingredients that had passed their expiry dates. The inspection report, obtained by local media, indicates that the expired raw materials were present in the products prepared for sale.
Under state food‑safety regulations, the use of expired ingredients is a violation that can lead to penalties, product recalls, or temporary closure of the establishments.
