Punjab Food Authority shows hygiene is something not to be compromised with, not under Aysha Mumtaz’s supervision. PFA’s Director Operations, Aysha Mumtaz along with Data Ganj Baksh team make a swoop on two of the top class hotels and fine Rupees 75,000 each. The team inspected Avari and Pearl Continental Lahore and penalized both for unhygienic conditions in kitchen earlier on Saturday.

PFA also published pictures of insanitary conditions of kitchen, bakery, freezers and undisposed garbage found in both the hotels.

Similarly PC received PRs. 25,000 each as a consequence of “no hand sanitizer and dish washer detergent” in Sakura kitchen, “leftover food stored and poor sanitation” in Dumpukht and “misbranded jams, expired cake sponge, dirty hot plate, no labeling on food flavors ,essences and also broken eggs, open dustbin” found in bakery.

 

Besides Avari and PC, PFA sealed Hafiz sweets on Raiwand road and amerced BFC PIA road, Big Man’s pizza Shadman, Faizia Sweets and Bakers and various other eateries and stores too. Sudden raids and penalties indicate that PFA has swung into action and will not taper out until they have disciplined every institution merchandising edibles in Lahore.
