The Kerala High court today directed re-opening of the multinational
Kentucky Fried Chicken outlet at Thiruvananthapuram which was closed
down on October 9 by Food Safety Authorities after a worm was reportedly
found in a chicken dish bought by a customer.Considering the petition filed by Yum Restaurant, KFC's franchisee
at Thiruvananthapuram, Justice T R Ramachandran Nair ordered desealing
of the outlet.
FSA had sealed the outlet after an NRI customer found a worm in a dish of 'fiery chicken', following which he lodged a complaint with officials. Acting on the complaint, a search was conducted at the outlet and some stale items were recovered, following which the outlet was served with a temporary closure notice.
Challenging the closure, the petitioner moved court, contending that the procedure adopted by FSA officials is illegal and that 'informal samples' had been collected without complying with the statutory mandate in the Food Safety Act.Upholding the petitioner's plea, the court directed that the outlet be re-opened
