CHENNAI: Food safety officials on Thursday issued 'stop sale' notices to Yaa Mohaideen, a biryani outlet in Vadapalani, after seizing more than 70kg of expired meat including chicken stored in freezer and 30kg of biryani prepared with the same meat. They fined the outlet 5,000 and asked the management to undergo training for cold chain management from NABL, submit a certificate and seek clearance before reopening.
Food safety officials said they had received a complaint that the restaurant was using stale meat. " We found that meat stored in refrigerators had expired. The temperature at which the meat was stored was also not as per standards," said Chennai's designated food safety officer Dr P Satheesh Kumar.
