Last year, an image of a lizard inside a packet of pakora had gone viral on social media. The packet of pakora was allegedly purchased from a sweets and snacks shop in Palayamkottai town of Tirunelveli district in Tamil Nadu.

Following the incident, the officials directed the local store to shut down for a day. The shop was allowed to reopen only after the officials found that all the FSSAI regulations were being followed and a written undertaking was received from the outlet’s owner.
