Hyderabad, May 29 -- The Hyderabad Food Adulteration Surveillance Team (H-FAST) conducted raids at four locations last week in collaboration with food safety officers, flagging unsafe manufacturing and labelling practices.

In the first case, a raid was conducted at an edible oil and spice manufacturing facility in Katedan, named Shalimar's Company, which uncovered serious unhygienic and unsafe food-manufacturing conditions.

Photos from the facility show a bug infestation in the spices. The unsafe ingredients were later dumped at a dumping ground, and officials were seen pouring chemicals on the sacks.
