Hygiene Violations Found at Four Hyderabad Eateries and Cloud Kitchens
Food safety inspectors visited four places in and around Hyderabad that make and serve food, including eateries and cloud kitchens.
At Babai Hotel, they found semi-prepared food kept without labels, dirty drains and a greasy exhaust.
At Ideal Kitchen, the kitchen was small and messy, with batters stored near a brooming stick.
Workers there used artificial food colours, and the inspectors threw the colours away on the spot.
Cooked rice dishes such as sambar rice and lemon rice were left open without covers.
Many important records, like medical checks, pest control and food-testing records, were missing at several places.
At Wacky Wok Cloud Kitchen, some good habits were found, but the freezer had spoiled vegetables and pest activity.
The inspectors told all these places to fix the problems and clean up.
Now the eateries must improve their kitchens so people can eat safe, healthy food.
Food safety officials inspected four eateries and cloud kitchens in and around Hyderabad as part of a crackdown on unsafe food establishments.
At Babai Hotel in Madinaguda, semi-prepared poori and poornam were unlabeled, food waste clogged drains, and exhausts were greasy, with no medical or food-testing records.
At Ideal Kitchen in Beeramguda, artificial food colours were used and discarded on the spot, cooked rice items were left open, and the unit scored 58/92 (63%).
At Wacky Wok Cloud Kitchen in Kondapur, a poorly maintained freezer contained spoiled vegetables and pest activity, though some good practices like hairnets and fly catchers were noted.
Officials issued notices directing the establishments to rectify the deficiencies and improve food safety and hygiene standards.
