Dining at your favourite cafe or restaurant is generally considered a leisure activity, where you try to break the monotony of home-cooked food and indulge in the goodness of restaurant food. But, what if you are being served disastrous food? Yes, something similar happened at Jin Gu, a restaurant located in the Usera district of Madrid, the capital of Spain, where people were being served rotten food and it resulted in the shutting of the restaurant.
As per reports, police raided the restaurant after receiving many complaints and subsequently shut down the place after being found to have violated numerous health codes.
During the raid, they found that the kitchen was cockroach-infested, and meat and fish lacked labels. The officials said that everything smelled of rotten seafood. Police also found staff catching the birds off the streets and killing them for meat.
As well as this, there were eight freezers allegedly containing unlabelled products, with no sell-by-date in sight and leaving them untraceable.

The restaurant also lacked thermometers in its storage facilities to measure and monitor the temperature, which is a legal requirement in Spain.
During the raid, 300 kg of rotten food was found in a rusty freezer, placed behind a shelf in the disabled toilet. They also found strips of meat left to dry in the open.
What do you think of such restaurants and their carelessness?
