Food safety inspections conducted in Telangana’s Lakdikapul area uncovered concerning violations in several establishments, including Hotel New Fishland, Hotel Ashoka, and Hydrate – The Bar.
At Hotel New Fishland, authorities found a troubling rat infestation within the kitchen premises, with live rats freely roaming. The absence of rat traps compounded the issue, while the discovery of synthetic food colors led to their immediate disposal. Dustbins were uncovered, and crucial documents such as Medical Fitness Certificates for food handlers and pest control records were conspicuously absent. Semi-prepared food items stored in refrigerators lacked adequate covering and labeling, raising further concerns.
Hydrate – The Bar was not immune to violations either. Expired food items, including chilled chicken wings and Amul Peanut Spread, were discovered in the kitchen. Four units of BBQ sauce lacking importer labels were seized. Despite some efforts to cover semi-prepared food items, proper labeling was lacking. Similar to Hotel New Fishland, dustbins were left uncovered, and medical fitness certificates for food handlers were missing.

In response to these violations, notices have been issued to all restaurants in compliance with the FSSAI Act, emphasizing the importance of adhering to food safety regulations.
