Food Safety Violations Lead to Seizure in Karmanghat
Food safety officials in Hyderabad found a food manufacturing unit called Ashoksingh Foods in Karmanghat breaking several rules.
They were making sev (a type of snack) but only had a retailer's license, not a manufacturer's license.
The officials also saw that the place was not clean and safe for making food.
They took away 110 kg of sev and 40 litres of cooking oil because they thought the food might not be safe to eat.
They will test the food in a lab to see if it's safe and decide what to do next.
Food safety officials seized 110 kg of sev and 40 litres of cooking oil from Ashoksingh Foods in Karmanghat.
The unit was operating as a manufacturer with a retailer registration, violating licensing norms.
Multiple food safety and hygiene violations were observed, including suspected use of synthetic food colours and poor sanitation.
Samples of the seized items were collected for laboratory analysis.
Further action will be initiated based on the test results.
