Blinkit Facility Inspected in Karnataka After Consumer Claims Worm Seen in Egg

  • Following a consumer complaint about eggs ordered via Blinkit on September 1, 2026, Karnataka Health Minister UT Khader directed an inspection of the company's Mangaluru facility in Falnir Square, where officials discovered broken and spoiled stock.
  • Officials issued a warning to the unit manager and ordered immediate destruction of all eggs on premises; the facility's storage room was temporarily closed and sealed to facilitate cleaning and sanitisation.
  • Separately, food safety authorities conducted a special inspection drive on September 3, 2026, at Chairman's Club in Sahakaranagar, Bengaluru, under the Greater Bengaluru Authority in accordance with Food Safety and Standards Act provisions.
  • Inspectors seized 40 kg of expired chilli, 5 kg of bread crumbs, and 2 kg of Sajeera products, citing improper labelling and unhygienic storage conditions that led to the kitchen being closed.
  • The Department of Food Safety and Drug Administration confirmed it will initiate further legal action based on inspection findings and conduct continuous inspections across the state to enforce food safety standards.
