This incident is not an isolated case; customers have previously reported unpleasant experiences that sparked outrage online. Last year, a video surfaced depicting a dead lizard found in biryani ordered from a local restaurant in Hyderabad. The minute-long footage showed the lifeless reptile lying in a plate of food that a family member was about to eat. This particular dish was ordered through Zomato, which took action in response to the incident.
In an effort to enhance food hygiene and quality standards among its restaurant partners, online food delivery service Swiggy introduced the ‘Swiggy Seal’ initiative. Launched on Wednesday, the program aims to promote better hygiene and will initially roll out in Pune before expanding to over 650 cities across India by November.
“Since the program’s launch two weeks ago, restaurant partners have shown high interest, with hundreds of requests for hygiene audits already received. Should any concerns arise about a restaurant holding the Seal, Swiggy will thoroughly review the feedback and may revoke the badge if the restaurant fails to maintain the established standards,” stated Swiggy.
