Food Safety officials found significant issues at Hoy Punjab. They discovered that the restaurant didn’t have medical fitness certificates for its food handlers. Additionally, they were missing water analysis reports for the reverse osmosis (RO) water provided to customers. The officials also found that the restaurant’s vegetable biryani, which had been prepared the previous day, was stored improperly and had to be discarded. Overused oil with a greasy appearance was also discarded. The storeroom was noted to be narrow and lacking proper ventilation. In addition, the food safety officials seized 330 customised drinking water bottles supplied by Jalousie Industries due to their very low total dissolved solids (TDS) level of 39 ppm.
Task force team has conducted inspections in Gachibowli area on 17.08.2024.
