Flies and Mold Found at Local Subway
16 Jun
Summary
- Rotten lettuce and unlabelled cut vegetables were discovered.
- Flies were observed in the food preparation area.
- Washing facilities and food handler awareness were poor.
An inspection at a Subway outlet in Rajarajeshwari Nagar, Kondapur, revealed significant food safety violations on Tuesday. The food safety team of Cyberabad Municipal Corporation (CMC) discovered rotten lettuce and unlabelled cut vegetables that had exceeded their declared use-by dates. Additionally, flies were observed in the food preparation area, and the washing facilities were found to be inadequately maintained.
The inspection, part of an ongoing monitoring drive, also highlighted issues with the checking of incoming raw vegetables. Food waste was present on the preparation area floor. Crucially, essential documents such as medical fitness certificates for food handlers, food testing reports, and water analysis reports were not available. Food handlers also demonstrated a lack of awareness regarding safe food handling practices.
As an immediate measure, the rotten and unlabelled produce was discarded on-site. The establishment will receive an 'Improvement Notice' from the CMC, mandating the implementation of necessary corrective actions to address the detected violations.
