Unhygienic contions at Kshatriya Foods in Madhapur
Hyderabad: Three popular food outlets in Hyderabad have come under the radar of Telangana food safety officials for operating in unsanitary conditions. The officials, who conducted an inspection on Friday, flagged several violations in the restaurants.
Hotel Tulips Grand in Hayathnagar was pulled up by officials for unhygienic conditions in its cooking areas and storage premises. They also pointed out the lack of a proper drainage system in the kitchen and the absence of pest control records with the FBO.
In addition to these unhygienic conditions, food safety officials observed that expired products such as mushrooms, ice cream, poppy seeds, and meat were being used in the hotel.
