Capital Multi-Cuisine Restaurant, Malakpet
The Capital Multi-Cuisine Restaurant, located in Malakpet, was found to be in violation of several food safety regulations. The establishment failed to provide medical fitness certificates for food handlers and pest control records.
Food Safety officials found that kitchen doors and windows lacked proper insect-proof screens. Additionally, refrigerators were in an unsanitary condition, with food items stored uncovered and unlabeled.
A live cockroach infestation, house flies, and potential rat infestation were observed in the kitchen. Synthetic food colors were detected in biryani and non-vegetarian dishes, and the items were immediately discarded.
Food handlers were found without wearing headcaps, gloves, or aprons. Additionally, the restaurant used garbage covers instead of dustbins. Bakery items such as bread and buns were prepared, packed, and sold on-premises without proper labeling.
