The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Food Safety and Halal Authority has firmly dismissed recent social media claims regarding the presence of dog meat in the province’s eateries as completely untrue.
In response to viral posts alleging that raids had uncovered dog meat at various restaurants in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, a spokesperson from the authority labeled these reports as fabricated and misleading.
The spokesperson stressed that no such incidents had occurred, calling the accusations an intentional attempt to create unnecessary fear and harm the reputation of the food industry.
Director General of the K-P Food Authority, Wasif Saeed, also addressed the rumors, urging the public to disregard these baseless claims. He emphasized the importance of relying on official information provided by the authorities rather than unverified social media reports.
Saeed reassured citizens that regular inspections of hotels and restaurants are carried out across the province to ensure food safety standards are met. He expressed concern over the actions of individuals spreading such misinformation, which not only causes panic but also damages the trust between consumers and the food industry.
The K-P Food Authority continues to prioritize public health by maintaining strict oversight of food establishments, ensuring quality and safety for all.

Very recently 7000 Donkey Raw Hides were caught in custom being shipped to China. Where used the meat of those.., government is not serious to stop such bad activities which is very harmful for people Life. Before millions of donkey hides shipped to China.., but that was stopped when containers were caught and claimed to Pakistan govt.., otherwise a number of people earned a lot… and unfortunately Pakistan custom people were involved fully. They were taking one million rupees to mention cow hide instead of donkey hide in custom documents. Such kind of cowered people should punish badley.
