A food safety inspection at a Zepto warehouse in Hoskote, Bengaluru Rural, has exposed serious hygiene and food-handling violations. Officials found organic waste, discarded wrappers and bottles, accumulated dirt, and empty cardboard boxes inside the facility. The inspection also identified problems including non-compliant labelling, misbranding, and unhygienic storage and handling of food products. The Food Safety and Drug Administration Department sealed the warehouse and issued a notice to the facility. Officials have also recommended legal action against the operator. The raid is part of a wider food-safety enforcement drive in Bengaluru aimed at ensuring compliance with FSSAI standards and protecting consumers.
