Food in Indian restaurants substandard

Most of us go out for a dinner to a restaurant to enjoy the tasty food away from the daily monotonous food of our home. However, a government data reveals that over 20 per cent of food items served in restaurants and fast food outlets across the country are substandard or adulterated. Out of 46,283 food samples including milk, milk products, edible vegetable oil and spices tested at various government laboratories during 2013-14, as many as 9,265 samples were found to be adulterated and misbranded.
