This isn't the first time authorities have cracked down on food safety violations. Recently, Telangana's food safety department task force visited multiple establishments around the city for inspections. During their visit to dairy units in Hyderabad, they uncovered some concerning violations. At Durga Dairy Products in Sultan Bazar, the team found expired artificial flavouring agents – like 500 ml each of vanilla and lemon flavours that had been past their expiry date since 2020. These products were immediately discarded.

The officials also noticed several hygiene issues, such as flaky ceilings, patchy flooring and missing drains. Food handlers weren't wearing hair caps, and the doors weren't properly sealed to prevent pests. Moreover, the Food Business Operator failed to present the required Employee Health Records and Food Safety Training and Certification (FoSTac) certificates for the staff during the inspection.
