\nThe Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Food Safety and Halal Food Authority on Friday seized around 3,000 kilograms of substandard and rotten meat from a passenger bus during an inspection on the GT Road in Peshawar.
\nAccording to a Food Authority spokesperson, the Peshawar food safety team had established a checkpoint near Kala Mandi to inspect vehicles transporting food items.
\nDuring the operation, officials found a large quantity of rotten and substandard meat concealed in compartments of a passenger bus.
\nThe meat was declared unfit for human consumption and subsequently destroyed at the Water and Sanitation Services Peshawar (WSSP) dumping area.
\nOfficials said the transportation of the meat in concealed compartments was a violation of food safety and hygiene standards.
