DG KHAN, Oct 08 (APP):Seven food outlets were fined a total of Rs 96,500 for poor hygiene conditions and selling substandard and expired food items during an inspection in Dera Ghazi Khan and Taunsa Sharif on Wednesday.
During the operation, the Punjab Food Authority teams checked several food points, bakeries, water filtration plants, and major egg dealers across both cities to ensure hygiene and food safety standards.
