Now the bread supplier Companies are not just giving you bread but they are also giving live rats in the bread packets yes it true as a live rat was found inside a bread packet at the All India Medical Institute of Sciences (AIIMS) and after this weird incident the hospital authorities have banned the supplier for 3 years.
A medical superintendent of AIIMS DK Sharma said that the authorities had received a complaint about the incident on 29th July and the same was forwarded by Professor Govind Makaria of the gastroenterology department.
The rat was found in a Brown bread packet which was served to the patients suffering from diseases and getting treated in the hospital.
One of the Doctors has told that consumption of rodent infected food could lead to fever, diarrhoea and blood infection which would further enhance the infection and delay in the getting cured for the disease for which the patients are already getting treated.
AIIMS issued a statement related to this incident in which it said “Immediately after receipt of the written complaint, the said sealed packed of bread slice in which the live rat was found was taken in custody and the vendor was called for an urgent meeting which was held on July 29. “After long discussions and deliberations in this matter, the representative of the vendors intimated that long sealing/bottom sealing of the packing material of bread slice was not intact to almost 2-3 inches and apprehension was that the rat must have entered through this opening somewhere in the transit and needs to be investigated.”
On 5th August the reputed hospital cancelled the vendor’s agreement and also banned for supplying for three years with fine of Rs25000. The vendor has also been issued a notice asking to explain why action should not be taken on 9th September and the responded to it on 17th September but the authorities did not find the reply appropriate and took the decision of banning him for three years and penalising him. It is also updated on AIIMS website about the vendor agreement cancellation.
The following statement is posted on the website “good manufacturing practice. The quality wing of the company has failed in detecting such incident before the supplies were packed in cartons.”
