The grinding area was deemed โhighly unhygienicโ. Plaster flakes were seen coming loose from the kitchen ceiling. The task force discovered several expired food items including masala powder, brown sugar, paprika powder, dark chocolate compound and filter coffee. These articles were promptly discarded. There seemed to be an issue with a few of the necessary records too. The establishment did not have the requisite Pest Control and Medical Fitness Certificates when the inspection took place. It had also not displayed a true copy of its FSSAI license on the premises. However, the water analysis reports and food testing reports were available. Additionally, the team noted that the food handlers at the canteen were wearing hair caps and aprons.
