A TG SAFE official said that the outlet was allegedly using cake bases with an expiry date of November 10, 2026, to sell cakes with their shelf life marked November 12, 2026. The official also confirmed that they discarded 60 kg of such bases.

Crackdown on eateries

On October 31, TG SAFE officials raided and suspended the FSSAI licenses of eight hotels, including Nayaab, for violation of food safety norms.  

In a meeting led by Hyderabad Lok Sabha MP Asaduddin Owaisi, members of the Twin Cities Hotel Owners Association met TG SAFE Commissioner Avinash Mohanty on Monday, November 9, over the suspension of FSSAI licences.

The delegation included representatives from popular joints such as Hotel Nayaab, Grand Hotel, and Imperial Hotel. On behalf of the eateries, Owaisi urged the Commissioner to first issue notices and then give time to the hotels in case of violations, instead of simply closing the establishments.

Earlier than that, the TG SAFE had raided 16 dark stores belonging to retail platforms across the city and suspended four licences due to severe hygiene violations, cockroach infestations, and
expired stock.
