IKEA stops selling veg biryani at Hyderabad store after shopper finds worm

Opened less than a month ago on August 9, the 400,000 square-foot IKEA home-furnishing store received a huge public response

IKEA India said on Wednesday that it has stopped serving two of the local food items at its restaurant in the recently opened home-furnishing store in the city. The move comes after a customer last week noticed a worm in the dish he ordered. 

"IKEA India has voluntarily stopped sales of two of its most appreciated products-Vegetarian Biryani and Samosa, sourced locally in India. IKEA follows strong internal processes to secure quality and takes full responsibility for its supply chain. IKEA India has initiated an internal review in order to take any corrective actions as needed," the company stated.
