The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India issued a formal notice to KFC after viral social media posts alleged unsanitary conditions at multiple outlets.
Regulators said complaints included videos purporting to show improper food handling and pest exposure in kitchen areas, triggering a statutory inquiry under India’s food safety law.
KFC India said it takes hygiene standards seriously and is cooperating with inspectors while conducting its own internal review of the flagged locations.
Consumer affairs watchers said the notice reflects FSSAI’s increasing reliance on citizen journalism to prioritize inspections at quick-service restaurant chains.
