CBC fines food outlets in DHA, Clifton over violations of food safety rules
Cantonment Board Clifton’s (CBC) food inspection teams carried out inspections at food outlets in Clifton Block-8 and Commercial Area of DHA Phase-7 Extension, examining overall hygiene conditions, including the cleanliness of premises, food items and utensils.
During the inspections, poor hygienic conditions were observed at several outlets. Expired food items were also found and were discarded on the spot.
Some outlets were also found operating without a valid food trade license from CBC, and food handlers were working without required medical certificates.
The owners of these outlets were instructed to obtain medical certificates for all food handlers and complete the necessary licensing requirements.
The teams also imposed fines on outlets and issued warnings for violations of the Cantonment Pure Food Act. All food outlets were instructed to strictly comply with standard operating procedures (SOPs).
CBC is actively working under the leadership of CEO Mohammad Omar Farooq Ali Malik to ensure that food outlets in Clifton Cantonment strictly comply with the rules and regulations and ensure quality of food items and maintain hygienic conditions on their premises.
