Food raid finds rat feces in Narayana Educational Society’s kitchen
Hyderabad: The Telangana food safety department conducted a surprise raid at the Central Kitchen of Narayana Educational Society in Kuntloor Village of Rangareddy District.
The food raid was conducted on March 10, which revealed that the water analysis report lacked microbial testing, and the facility had license discrepancies, requiring modification. Nine vehicles transporting food lacked the necessary transport category license.
Severe hygiene lapses were noted, including rat feces in the vegetable cutting area, spoiled potatoes and tomatoes, rusty iron knives for cutting, and housefly presence across the kitchen. The raw inlet water tank for the RO plant was unclean, and several food items were stored directly on the ground with non-food items.
Additionally, cobwebs were found in storage areas, doors were not properly fitted to prevent pest entry, and broken wall tiles and stagnant water on the floor posed contamination risks.
Authorities stated that action will be initiated under the Food Safety and Standards Act (FSS), 2006.
