What's the story
Recent inspections by the Commissioner of Food Safety for Telangana have uncovered multiple safety violations at several renowned food outlets in Hyderabad.
The popular eatery—Karachi Bakery—was found selling expired rusks, biscuits, candy, and chocolate cakes.
Additionally, many of their pastries and cakes lacked use-by dates, a clear violation of the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) regulations.
Regulatory breaches
Unlicensed operations and fake products found
The commissioner's task force also inspected businesses in the Moazzam Jahi Market area.
The post revealed that Bilal Ice Cream's outlet and production unit were operating without a valid license or registration.
"The fake brand water bottles found. Also, notice issued and action will be taken," the commissioner stated on social media.
Additionally, expired stocks of food items worth ₹5,200 were discarded at Karachi Bakery for breaching FSSAI regulations.
