  "summary": "The Telangana Standards Authority for Food and Essential Drugs (TG SAFE) has recently suspended the food safety licences of five eateries across the state, including a Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC) outlet in Karimnagar and Pista House Restaurant in Sangareddy district, due to serious violations of food safety norms. Inspections carried out by food safety officers revealed unhygienic kitchens, pest infestations, improper food storage, and inadequate handling practices at these establishments. The KFC outlet in Karimnagar was found to have high Total Polar Compounds (TPC) levels in the oil used for frying, while Pista House Restaurant in Sangareddy was criticized for poor cleaning practices, cockroach infestation, and improper segregation of food items. The establishments have been directed to cease operations immediately and address the issues raised during the inspections.",
