A curry house owner was ordered to pay RM4,500 by the Ipoh Magistrates Court for selling mutton curry which contained beef and lamb DNA.

The eatery ran by N Subramaniam, Hydrabad Curry House in Teluk Intan, was found guilty under Section 13B(1) of Food Act 1983 for adulterated food.

Magistrate Intan Nurul Farena Zainal Abidin ruled that the defence counsel failed to prove beyond reasonable doubt that the mutton supplier was responsible for the contamination.
