Multiple food safety violations were recently discovered on the premises of law university’s canteen in Hyderabad. On February 4, 2025, a task force inspected the food joint operated by Sri Sai Ganesh Caterers at NALSAR University in Shamirpet. The officials found out that its FSSAI license had been “obtained on the registered address instead of food preparation premises.” Additionally, the pest control records and water analysis reports were unavailable with the FBO [Food Business Operator]. The task force also flagged the absence of a supervisor with FoSTaC [Food Safety Training and Certification] training at this establishment.
The team revealed several hygiene and related issues uncovered on the premises. They found rat faeces and cockroach infestation in the store room. They noted that the doors and windows of the preparation area and dining area lacked insect-proof screens. The floor of the preparation area was deemed “slippery.” Some of the raw materials were found to be stored on the floor without pallets. The FBO had also not maintained temperature records for the refrigerator(s).
