Food safety officials in Mangaluru respond to a consumer complaint after a worm is reportedly found inside an egg supplied via Blinkit. Following the complaint, officials inspect the company’s storage area and investigate the incident.
Across reports, authorities say the inspection identifies additional issues at the facility, including broken eggs. Officials order the immediate disposal of the affected eggs. The storage room is temporarily sealed so it can be cleaned and sanitized, and officials continue follow-up checks.
After the inspection, officials plan to issue a notice to the establishment seeking an explanation for the lapse in food safety. Further inspections and potential legal action are mentioned as part of the response for businesses that violate safety norms. The outlets do not provide details on the worm’s identification or the full chain of custody from supply to consumer.
