Food Safety Violations Found At Actor Sundeep Kishan's Restaurant In Telangana

The task force teams of Telangana's Commissioner of Food Safety have recently been inspecting restaurants and other food establishments in various regions of the state. Numerous eating joints have been found to be flouting food safety rules. One of the most recent raids was conducted on Vivaha Bhojanambu in Secunderabad. This restaurant is owned by Tollywood actor Sundeep Kishan. On July 8, 2024, the team visited the establishment and discovered multiple violations. The team had to get rid of 25 kilos of Chitti Muthyalu rice, as it had to be consumed reportedly before 2022 (as indicated by the best-before date). 500 grams of grated coconut was also discarded, as they were discovered to contain synthetic food colours.
