Swiggy faces backlash over beef items on Hyderabad restaurant menu
A user named Kill Bill Pandey discovered beef items on the menu of a Hyderabad restaurant listed on Swiggy, sparking outrage and calls for a boycott of the platform. The user questioned the legality of selling beef biryani in the state, and others expressed disapproval of Swiggy's apparent acceptance of this. The controversy garnered attention online, with users debating the appropriateness of selling beef on online platforms and the legality of its sale in Telangana. Some users threatened to uninstall Swiggy, while others argued for respecting individual choices and pointing out the common availability of beef in other Indian regions. The Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) acknowledged the issue and stated that the Food Safety team is investigating. Swiggy has not yet commented on the situation, and users await a response.02:03 PM Feb 26, 2025 IST
