This is not the first time the authorities have cracked down on food safety violations. Recently, the Telangana Food Safety Department Task Force visited several establishments around the city for inspection. During his visit to dairy units in Hyderabad, he uncovered some violations. At Durga Dairy Products in Sultan Bazaar, the team eliminated artificial flavoring agents – such as in 500ml vanilla and lemon flavors that were past their expiry date since 2020. These products were immediately discarded.

Officials also noted several sanitation issues, such as flaky ceilings, patchy floors and missing drains. Food handlers were not wearing hair caps, and doors were not properly sealed to prevent pests. In addition, the food business operator failed to produce required employee health records and Food Safety Training and Certification (FOSTAC) certificates for employees during the inspection.
