Mother-daughter duo find ‘snakeskin’ in porotta bought from Kerala restaurant

On Thursday, Priya was in Nedumangad to accompany her daughter, who was there to appear for her Class X examination. After the examination was delayed, they ordered porottas and gravy from the restaurant.

While talking to the media, Arshitha Basheer, food safety officer of the Nedumangad circle, said, “We inspected the hotel immediately. It worked in a bad condition. The kitchen did not have sufficient lighting and scrap was seen dumped outside. The outlet was shut at once and a showcause notice served”.

The officer added, “Our preliminary finding is that the dead skin was in the newspaper used for packing the food. The porotta was packed in transparent paper and wrapped around with a newspaper. The skin somehow came into contact with the porotta. The skin piece was half a finger long.”

Hotel in Kerala’s Thiruvananthapuram has been temporarily shut after a customer allegedly found a part of a snake skin packed into her food. The snake skin was found in the newspaper that was used to pack the parottas, following which the food safety officials were alerted.

We should just forbid eating outside.

That is why I hardly eat outside, and whenever I eat I make sure the food is cooked right on my supervision.

The restaurant was temporarily closed during the investigation, but as per media reports, its owners were allowed to reopen the eatery after cleaning it thoroughly. The final decision about the restaurant’s licence will be made after the lab report comes.
