A high-end pub named Skyye Lounge, located within the luxury UB City mall in Bengaluru, was closed following a food safety inspection that revealed unsanitary conditions and unfit food products. The raid, conducted by the Food Safety and Drugs Administration Department, resulted in the seizure of over 132 kg of food items across several establishments in Bengaluru Urban district and BBMP zones. Rotten chicken, beef, and a significant amount of rotten meat were discovered at Skyye Lounge, along with expired milk and curd. Other eateries such as Royal Chain Hotel, Madras Kitchen, Tescon Hotel, Senchez Hotel, Coldman Logistics, and Radhakrishna Foodland also faced food item seizures and disposals due to improper storage conditions, nearing expiry dates, and other violations. The inspections were part of a larger special drive aimed at ensuring food safety and quality across Bengaluru Urban district and BBMP zones. Legal action will be initiated against the violators under the Food Safety and Standards Act. [Published on Aug 10, 2026 by Ajmal]
