detailed report to him on Friday regarding the raid and test report of food samples.
“We received the complaint that the particular restaurant was serving dog meat to customers. Accordingly, the FDA took action by conducting raid on the particular restaurant. The food samples have also been drawn. Once I receive detailed report, further action will be initiated against the restaurant owner,” he added.
It is learnt that some visitors to the restaurant suspected that the meat that was served to them to be of dog and not the normal meat, and so complained about it to the Health Minister and FDA.
