Unhealthy bacteria and yeast were found in these shawarma samples, which could cause severe health issues. Action will be taken against restaurants that are not adhering to safety standards.”Previously, food safety officials reported that 22% of Pani Puri samples did not meet safety standards. Among the 260 samples collected, artificial colors and carcinogenic agents were found in 41 samples, and an additional 18 samples were deemed unfit for consumption.
