The historic Nizam Club in Hyderabad has been found operating without a valid FSSAI license, sparking concerns over food safety. Established in 1884 by Mahbub Ali Khan, the sixth Nizam of Hyderabad, the club has been a prominent cultural institution in the city for 140 years. However, a recent inspection by Telangana’s Commissioner of Food Safety revealed serious lapses in food safety and hygiene.
Some of the alarming findings include live cockroach infestations in the kitchen, water seepage, broken refrigerator doors, and clogged drains. Food items were stored without proper labeling, and synthetic food colors were discovered in the kitchen, admitted to be used in Chinese dishes. Cosmetic rose water, suspected to be used in pudding preparation, was also found and promptly discarded. Beetle infestations were spotted in wheat flour and urad dal, further compromising food safety.
