Zomato CEO Addresses Future-Dated Mushrooms Found in Hyderabad Warehouse

Deepinder Goyal explains the error as a vendor's manual mistake and highlights the facility's top safety rating.

A food safety inspection at Zomato's Hyperpure warehouse in Hyderabad found 90 packets of mushrooms labeled with a future packing date.
Zomato CEO Deepinder Goyal attributed the incorrect date to a manual typing error by the vendor, who has since been delisted.
The mushrooms were identified and rejected during Zomato's quality control process before reaching customers.
Despite the error, the Hyperpure warehouse received an A+ rating, the highest benchmark in food safety standards.
Goyal criticized media coverage of the incident, suggesting it unfairly targeted Zomato despite the company's commitment to food safety.
