Korean Food Outlet in Guwahati's City Centre Accused of Serving Beef

A customer has accused K-Food Antenna, a Korean food outlet located on the 3rd floor of Guwahati’s City Centre mall, of serving beef without proper disclosure or food safety certification. The incident has sparked outrage, with the customer now preparing to lodge a formal FIR at the Dispur Police Station.

Speaking exclusively to Pratidin Time, the complainant described the unsettling experience:

"We went to the outlet to eat noodles. Since the menu was in Korean, we couldn’t immediately understand what we were ordering. Later, we looked up the item on Google, and it clearly stated that it contained beef."

Upon confronting the restaurant staff and management, the response allegedly left the customer even more shocked.

"They said they were Hindus themselves and didn’t know the product contained beef. Is that even an excuse?"

The customer also raised serious questions about food safety standards at the outlet:

"Food products sold in India are required to carry FSSAI approval. Most items there had it, but the one we ate did not. Instead, it was marked as ‘HAANC Approved’—something we’ve never heard of. How are such products being served in a public food court?"

Highlighting a larger issue of consumer rights and regulatory oversight, the complainant confirmed plans to initiate legal proceedings:

"We are going to file a consumer case and register an FIR at the Dispur Police Station."

While an official statement from K-Food Antenna or mall authorities is still awaited, the allegation has ignited a broader conversation about the unchecked sale of imported or culturally sensitive food products without clear labeling or regulatory clearance.
