India, May 28 -- Food regulator FSSAI on Thursday reportedly issued a notice to the Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation Ltd (IRCTC) after taking suo motu cognizance of a viral social media video that allegedly showed railway catering staff washing utensils inside the toilet area of a moving train.

The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) termed the act, if true, objectionable as it could lead to food contamination, news agency PTI reported.

The video allegedly showed food plates and cutlery stored in crates next to the toilet area inside the H1 coach of the 12223 Duronto Express during lunch service. IRCTC staff were also purportedly seen handling the items in the footage shared on social media.
