A statewide inspection by the Telangana Food Safety Department has uncovered shocking lapses in hygiene, licensing, and food handling at numerous popular pizza outlets, including major chains like Pizza Hut and Domino's.
The inspection drive, conducted by the Food Safety Task Force and Food Safety, covered 55 establishments across the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation area and various districts.
Out of these, violations were found in a significant number of outlets, with the department flagging both major brands and local pizzerias for non-compliance.
There were multiple lapses involving major chains.
Out of 18 Pizza Hut outlets inspected, eight were found to have serious violations. The department noted that multiple outlets had licenses that didn't match their jurisdiction, and kitchens were storing vegetarian and non-vegetarian food together, risking cross-contamination.
