  "account": "The Telangana Standards Authority for Food and Essential Drugs (TG SAFE) has suspended the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) licences of four eateries in Hyderabad due to severe food safety violations. Inspections conducted by seven teams of food safety officers and police personnel on Tuesday revealed numerous health hazards at the establishments. The suspended FSSAI licences belong to NR’s Nandini Sudha, Sai Darshini, Universal Restaurant, and Harsha Delux Mess, all located in Hyderabad. The inspections uncovered issues such as food waste on the floor, unclean wash areas, pest infestation, water stagnation, clogged drains, and unhygienic kitchen floors. Additionally, 16 food samples were collected for testing suspicion of adulteration. One of the eateries, Padmasree Canteen at IACG Hostel Mess in Madhapur, was ordered to cease operations due to operating without a valid FSSAI licence in unhygienic conditions. TG SAFE will issue improvement notices to Absolute Barbeque and revisit other establishments to ensure compliance with food safety standards. Further actions will be taken based on the reinspection.",
