The food safety regulator, Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) has sent a notice to IndiGo Airlines for allegedly serving sub-standard food.
The notice sent by Union Health Ministry's FSSAI, Northern Region to Indigo’s parent company Interglobe Aviation Ltd said, “ As per Section 3 of the Food Safety and Standards Act, “unsafe food” means an article of food whose nature, substance or quality is so affected as to render it injurious to health....by the article having been infected or infested with worms, weevils or insects.”
IndiGo has been asked to file a reply within seven days (up to January 9) on a complaint alleging live insects in food served to a passenger on flight 6E 6107 from Delhi to Mumbai. The FSSAI order stated, “You are directed to show cause within seven days....as to why not your license should be considered for suspension or cancellation and action be initiated against you as per the FSS Act, 2006 and rules and Regulations made under.”
In an official statement, IndiGo said, “IndiGo is in receipt of a show cause notice from FSSAI with regard to a food item served on flight 6E 6107 from Delhi to Mumbai. We will be responding to the notice, as per protocol.”
