Hyderabad’s popular Karachi Bakery, which has been there since the 1950s, recently came under the radar after the Food Safety Commissioner for Telangana raided one of its outlets at Moazzam Jahi Market area and claimed to find expired products. The Food Safety officials visited the popular Bilal Ice Cream parlour at the same location and found issues with the items being sold there. They further took to the social media handle X (formerly Twitter) to share the information with the public.
According to the post on X, the Karachi Bakery outlet had expired stocks of rusks, biscuits, candy, chocolate cakes, toast, and buns “worth Rs. 5,200”. The Food Safety Commissioner informed that those food products were discarded immediately. That’s not all. The authority also complained of “use by dates not displayed on pastries and cakes, thereby violating the FSSAI regulations.” Moreover, they also found multiple unlabelled products, which was against the FSSAI Act.
Task force has conducted inspections at Moazzam Jahi Market area recently.

The food authority revealed in a different post that the Bilal Ice Cream store and its production facility were discovered to be operating without a valid license. Water bottles with phony brands were being sold at the outlet next to it. “Notice issued and action will be taken,” the officials in charge of food safety say.
In addition, raids have been carried out by the Telangana Commissioner of Food Safety in a number of other Hyderabad locations, including stores in Himayat Nagar, Sarath City Mall, and Banjara Hills, to mention a few. The authorities have been providing updates on social media, letting people know that they are taking the appropriate legal action against restaurants that violate the food safety regulations set forth by the FSSAI.
