The Food Safety department has carried out inspections across the State to ensure chicken dishes are safe for consumption, Minister for Health Veena George has said.
The inspections were carried out in commercial establishments following complaints that artificial colours added in chicken dishes often crossed permissible levels.
The crackdown, led by the special task force set up by the State government, centred on shops selling al-fahm, tandoori chicken, grilled chicken, and shawai. In all, 35 squads inspected 448 establishments across the State.
