The task force representing Telangana’s Food Safety Commissioner visited Hyderabad’s Ashok Nagar on September 9, 2024. This time, the team did not inspect food establishments like restaurants and cloud kitchens. Rather, they focused on tiffin centres and hostels in the area. At Padmavathi Tiffins in Ashoknagar, the officials found unlabelled food items, patchy flooring, water stagnation, unclean drains, live cockroach infestation (in the store room), rat burrows (and possible rodent infestation) and other problems. The windows did not have closely fitted insect-proof screens. Raw food items were stored directly on the floor. The food handlers were not wearing aprons and hair caps. There was a bad odour in the kitchen premises. The team noted that the washroom was “attached to the grinding area” with the door being open and thus deemed unhygienic. The establishment had not displayed a copy of its FSSAI licence on the premises. Its pest control records and Medical fitness certificates were also unavailable.
Task force team has conducted inspections in Ashoknagar area on 09.09.2024.
