Cockroach infestation & rat feces found at NALSAR University canteen in Shamirpet
On February 4, 2025, the Telangana State Commissioner of Food Safety’s Task Force inspected the canteen at NALSAR University, finding several food safety violations. The canteen, run by Sri Sai Ganesh Caterers, lacked proper licensing, a FoSTaC-trained supervisor, and key records. The inspection revealed unsanitary conditions including cockroach infestation, rat feces, unlabeled raw materials, and inadequate storage practices. This followed the January 27, 2025, suspension of the license of the Central Kitchen operated by Sri Vasista Educational Trust for Sri Chaitanya Educational Institutes due to multiple food safety violations. The kitchen failed to meet basic standards, displaying unsanitary conditions, improper storage, and lack of required documentation. The article encourages consumers to report any food safety concerns through the FoSCoS App, available on both Android and iOS platforms.10:22 AM Feb 05, 2025 IST
