Bengaluru food safety officials shut down Chairman's Club kitchen over expired stock

Food Safety and Drug Administration officials conducting an inspection at Chairman's Club, located in Bengaluru's Sahakaranagar area, discovered multiple violations during their visit. The team seized expired food products found on the premises and identified highly unhygienic conditions in both food preparation and storage areas.

Investigators documented the use of unauthorised and prohibited artificial colours in food products prepared at the establishment. The findings prompted authorities to shut down the kitchen operations with immediate effect, preventing further food service until compliance standards are met.

The action reflects ongoing efforts by food safety regulators in Karnataka to ensure compliance with food safety standards and protect public health. Establishments serving food products are required to maintain prescribed hygiene standards, use only approved food additives, and properly manage inventory to avoid serving expired items to consumers.

Chairman's Club has not yet issued a public statement regarding the regulatory action. The establishment will be required to address the cited violations and obtain clearance from food safety authorities before resuming operations.
