From Cakes to Critters: Shocking Hygiene Violations at Hyderabad's Monginis Outlet

Hyderabad - In an appalling discovery, the Telangana Food Safety Task Force unearthed shocking hygiene violations at a Monginis Cake Shop in Hyderabad. Live cockroaches and rat feces were found in the storage and manufacturing areas, raising alarms about the safety of the food served to unsuspecting customers.

Expired Ingredients Dating Back Two Years

Adding to the horror, officials uncovered expired food ingredients, including kesar syrup, pineapple flavoring compounds, vanilla essence, and desiccated coconut powder. Some of these products had expiration dates from two years ago, showcasing blatant negligence.

Structural Neglect and Unhygienic Practices

The inspection highlighted poor maintenance, including flaking walls, ceilings, and a leaking air conditioning unit in the cold room. Food items stored in plastic drums raised concerns over contamination risks. Such practices reflect disregard for basic food safety protocols.

No Licenses, No Health Records

The outlet failed to display its FSSAI license as required by law. Moreover, the absence of employee health records and certifications suggests a lack of concern for both worker and customer well-being.
