Cat Meat in Kacchi? Consumer Rights Directorate Raids Restaurants Following Widespread Rumors

Widespread concerns and viral rumors regarding the authenticity of meat used in Kacchi Biryani have triggered prompt action across Dhaka. Allegations suggesting the substitution of mutton with unauthorized meat, including bizarre claims of cat meat, have sparked massive outrage among consumers, prompting the Directorate of National Consumer Rights Protection (DNCRP) to initiate targeted market inspections.

During the enforcement drives, officials inspected numerous renowned food establishments to verify meat sources, procurement receipts, refrigeration standards, and overall hygiene. While several outlets were penalized for poor sanitation and lack of proper documentation, regulatory teams collected meat samples to be tested in government-approved laboratories to conclusively dispel or address public fears.

Authorities reiterated their strict zero-tolerance stance against food adulteration and consumer deception, assuring that laboratory test results will soon provide scientific clarity. The DNCRP has warned that any establishment found endangering public health or misleading consumers through fraudulent meat supplies will face severe legal consequences, including hefty fines and immediate closure.
