A day after it was alleged that the food served in Indira Canteens across the city is of poor quality, the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) sent 19 food samples for testing.
Of the 19 samples collected, seven have been sent to Dasappa Hospital, 11 to the Public Health Institute and one to a private lab.
Samples have also been collected from the centralised kitchens that supply food to the Indira Canteens, according to a communiqué on Tuesday.
