Karachi Bakery, Several Hyderabad Restaurants Under Fire For Allegedly Selling Expired Products

Hyderabad’s popular Karachi Bakery, which has been there since the 1950s, recently came under the radar after the Food Safety Commissioner for Telangana raided one of its outlets at Moazzam Jahi Market area and claimed to find expired products. The Food Safety officials visited the popular Bilal Ice Cream parlour at the same location and found issues with the items being sold there. They further took to the social media handle X (formerly Twitter) to share the information with the public.

According to the post on X, the Karachi Bakery outlet had expired stocks of rusks, biscuits, candy, chocolate cakes, toast, and buns “worth Rs. 5,200”. The Food Safety Commissioner informed that those food products were discarded immediately. That’s not all. The authority also complained of “use by dates not displayed on pastries and cakes, thereby violating the FSSAI regulations.” Moreover, they also found multiple unlabelled products, which was against the FSSAI Act.
