The Food Safety Officers of the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) visited the restaurant located at Azamabad ‘X’ road on Friday after a customer filed a complaint alleging he found a lizard in chicken biryani at Bawarchi. They found the kitchen to be unsanitary.
The cops decided to take the management to court and issue a show-cause notice. According to the GHMC’s Assistant Food Controller, Gaddam Naveen filed a complaint with the Food Safety wing, claiming that he discovered a lizard while eating chicken biryani given in a parcel by the restaurant.
Following the complaint, food safety authorities inspected the restaurant’s kitchen and took a sample of the biryani. They took a sample of lizard-infested biryani and sent it to the State Food Laboratory. The police discovered that the food workers were not wearing gloves, a hairnet, or masks throughout the inspection.
They also saw that the kitchen floor was greasy and wet and that the ceiling was filthy, and also that the floor was covered with black soot and raw materials. The storage area was unclean and unsanitary. A show-cause notice will be sent to the restaurant, according to the official, and a summary trial case will be filed against the management in the metropolitan magistrate court.
According to the officials, the restaurant management broke the HMC Byelaws for regulation of eating houses or hotels, 1973 of the GHMC Act, 1955. On receipt of an analytical report from the State Food Laboratory, he added, that if any violation by management is discovered, a separate course of action will be taken under the terms of the FSS Act, 2006, and Rules and Regulations, 2011.
