KFC says it sources quality chicken after Mangaluru outlet sealed

KFC has said it sources high-quality chicken and follows all guidelines of the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) after authorities sealed its outlet in Mangaluru, Karnataka. The action followed a complaint from a customer about foul-smelling chicken served at the restaurant.

Officials from the local food safety department inspected the outlet and collected samples of the chicken for testing. The outlet was sealed pending the results of the laboratory analysis, which will determine if the food was unsafe for consumption.

The company stated it is cooperating with the authorities and awaiting the test reports. The incident has drawn attention to food safety standards at major fast-food chains in India.
