The hotel that England will use during the upcoming World Cup in Brazil has had out-of-date food removed following a raid from Brazilian health and safety officials.
The Royal Tulip hotel in Rio de Janeiro, which is due to house Roy Hodgson’s men next month, had 2.6kg of salmon, parma ham and butter removed after it was deemed unfit for consumption.
Nonetheless, the Football Association have declared that they have no concerns following the seizure.
An FA spokesman stated: “The England chef has visited the Royal Tulip hotel several times and is happy with the cleanliness of the facilities. He will also closely supervise all the players’ food intake.”
The inspections were part of 13 venues visited by officials, with restaurants, supermarkets, bakeries, shops also raided.
