A Gujarat family out for a fun evening encountered a terrifying moment in Jamnagar after a customer allegedly found a small black cockroach in the chutney served with a dosa at the popular eatery Bajrang Dosa in the Patel Colony area.The incident, reported by the customer Dr Bhavesh Vyas, who had visited the restaurant with his family, has triggered concerns over food safety, hygiene and cleanliness at eateries across the city.He shot a video capturing the alleged incident and the subsequent exchange with the restaurant owner, which is also circulating on social media.According to the account shared by Dr Vyas, he visited Bajrang Dosa with his family and ordered a dosa. However, when the food was served along with chutney, the family noticed a large, dark object in it.

Upon closer inspection, Dr Vyas and his wife reportedly identified the object as a cockroach after noticing its legs.Shocked by the discovery, Dr Vyas immediately brought the matter to the attention of the person in charge of the establishment. He questioned the restaurant's management about who would be held accountable if such negligence resulted in a customer suffering from food poisoning or other health complications.According to Dr Vyas, the person in charge responded by saying, "I will take responsibility".

However, the response did not satisfy the customer, who questioned the lack of accountability towards the health and safety of customers.Sharing his experience, Dr Vyas described the incident as a serious matter of public health concern.He said that finding such creatures in food served to customers could put people's health at risk and called for greater accountability from food establishments.He also urged the citizens of Jamnagar, the government and the Food Department to take strict action against establishments that fail to maintain basic hygiene standards.Emphasising the need for cleanliness in restaurant kitchens, he called for stringent measures to prevent such incidents and ensure that food served to the public is safe for consumption.The incident has brought the spotlight back on food hygiene practices and the need for regular inspections of restaurants and eateries.Citizens have also urged the Food Safety Department to investigate the matter and take appropriate action if violations are established.The video circulating on social media is likely to draw further attention to the issue.However, an official response from the Food Safety Department or confirmation of any inspection or action against the eatery is awaited.The matter has renewed calls for stricter monitoring and enforcement of food safety standards to protect public health.- Ends
