Authorities noted the absence of key documents, including water analysis reports, pest control records, and medical fitness certificates for food handlers.
During the inspection, it was found that the FSSAI license was not displayed on the premises, violating food safety regulations. The kitchen area was in an unhygienic state, with dirty walls, broken flooring, and poor overall maintenance. Inspectors also observed that the drainage system was clogged and overflowing, with food waste left uncleared for long periods.
The food handlers were not following hygiene protocols, as they were working without head caps, gloves, or proper protective gear. Additionally, the cooking area was extremely dirty, with oil dripping from the exhaust, unclean stoves, and stained utensils.
The inspection team also raised concerns over improper vegetable storage, which resulted in dried-out produce. The store room was found in a neglected condition, with no proper upkeep.
Authorities noted the absence of key documents, including water analysis reports, pest control records, and medical fitness certificates for food handlers. A major violation was the failure to monitor used cooking oil for Total Polar Compound (TPC) formation, which is essential for food safety. Officials collected oil samples for lab testing to assess contamination levels.
The task force has directed the hotel management to rectify these violations immediately. Further action will be taken based on lab test results and compliance with food safety guidelines.
