Hyderabad Restaurants Lose Food Licences
Food regulator FSSAI has suspended the licences of 14 Hyderabad restaurants, including Shah Ghouse and Hotel Nayaab. Taj Falaknuma has been issued a show cause notice, asking it to explain why action should not be taken. The move puts a spotlight on hygiene checks at popular eateries in the city.
Context
FSSAI is the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India, which sets food rules and licences for restaurants and food businesses across the country. A show cause notice is a formal first step asking a business to respond before any final penalty is decided.
