The cafeteria at Karachi University faced severe consequences, being fined Rs200,000 and shut down due to substandard conditions and the provision of unhygienic food.
In an unexpected development, the Sindh Food Authority conducted an unannounced inspection at the university’s cafeteria, revealing unsatisfactory conditions. In response to these alarming findings, immediate action was taken, and the cafeteria was sealed to prevent further health risks.
The Director General of the Sindh Food Authority held a meeting with the Vice Chancellor of Karachi University to discuss and address the concerning situation. Following fruitful discussions, an agreement was reached, with the cafeteria management committing to adhere to the regulations set by the Sindh Food Authority.
This incident underscores the crucial importance of maintaining high standards of hygiene and quality in food establishments, especially those catering to students and faculty within educational institutions.
