Comprehensive Food Safety Inspection Conducted in Alangad
Led by the Panchayat and Alangad Family Health Center, officials in Ernakulam, Kerala, carried out a thorough inspection across multiple hotels, bakeries, other establishments, and migrant worker residences in areas such as Thirumuppam, Olanad, Kongorpilly, and nearby regions. The inspection aimed to enforce food safety standards and assess the sanitary conditions of both food preparation areas and worker accommodations.
Serious Violations Uncovered in Food Preparation
Health officials discovered major violations during the inspections. Many food outlets were found to operate under unsanitary conditions, with improper handling, inadequate storage, and contamination risks posing serious health concerns. Several establishments neglected basic hygiene practices, such as proper handwashing, clean cooking surfaces, and maintaining appropriate storage temperatures.
Sewage Accumulation in Migrant Worker Residences
Inspectors also found sewage accumulation around migrant worker accommodations, creating unhealthy living conditions for residents. The stagnant sewage posed a public health risk, violating sanitation standards and potentially leading to waterborne diseases. The unsanitary environments in these areas raised serious concerns about the health and well-being of both workers and the local community.
