We all love to eat at restaurants and exquisite places because we think that these places offer tasty food and provide an opportunity to enjoy life outside home. If, however, we go to their kitchens, we will never think of visiting such restaurants again in the future. Here, even the five-star hotels are no exception. Those who work in these hotels and restaurants do not observe the guidelines on how to handle food items. Food is cooked in unhygienic conditions while fruits, vegetables and other ingredients are not properly washed. They do not even wash their own hands before cooking or serving food. And if that’s true, then what can we say about the roadside hotels and restaurants? The concerned food authorities and the provincial governments need to monitor such eateries and take action against those who violate food safety rules and play with the public health.
