Hyderabad's Hotel Shadab FSSAI Licence Suspended Over Food Safety Violations
The Telangana Standards Authority for Food and Essential Drugs (TG SAFE) suspended the FSSAI licence of Hyderabad's iconic Hotel Shadab following inspections that revealed multiple food safety and hygiene violations, including poor storage and handling of meat, pest infestations, and lack of proper staff hygiene. The Madina Circle branch was sealed after the suspension. TG SAFE also shut down two other eateries operating without valid licences. The restaurant has seven days to address the issues for possible licence reinstatement; failure to comply may lead to licence cancellation.
