As per report Hyderabad’s iconic Karachi bakery at Ameerpet has come under the scanner of the civic body officials following a complaint from a customer. Meanwhile the premises of the bakery were raided on Tuesday after a customer complained of finding worms in sweets purchased from the bakery and immediately the customer took to twitter to post pictures of the spoil sweets.
Furthermore as the tweet went viral, Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) West Zone Commissioner Hari Chandana took cognizance of the matter and ordered its authorities to raid the premises. When talking to TNM, Deepak Pinto, who found the contaminated batch of sweets, told TNM that the confectioneries were a gift from friends. Deepak said “The sweets were well within the expiry date, where his wife first noticed a white powdered substance on the sweets. We couldn’t really decide if the sweets were contaminated or not and found worms in two more sweets and the remaining had a white powdered substance on top of it”.
Moreover Karachi is one of the iconic eateries in Hyderabad and boasts of a history of 65 years. It is for the first time in the recent history that the bakery has been raided. In 2014, an outlet of the bakery at Banjara Hills was sealed for allegedly violating food hygiene norms and not maintaining the standards stipulated by the municipal body.
