A caterpillar forces Swedish furnishing giant Ikea from selling biryani, samosa
Days after a worm was found in its biryani, Swedish furnishing retailer IKEA has decided to stop selling vegetarian biryani and samosa at its Hyderabad store. The decision was announced on Wednesday.
In a statement, the multinational group said that it follows strong internal processes to secure the quality of its food.
"IKEA follows strong internal processes to secure quality and takes full responsibility for its supply chain. IKEA India has initiated an internal review in order to take any corrective actions as needed," it said.
Last week, the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corp (GHMC) has imposed a fine of Rs 11,500 on Ikea after a customer lodged a complaint that he found a caterpillar in its vegetable biryani.
