What's the story
The Commissioner of Food Safety's task force in Telangana has discovered multiple food safety violations at Vivaha Bhojanambu, a restaurant owned by Tollywood actor Sundeep Kishan.
The inspection, conducted on July 8, revealed outdated rice and synthetic food coloring in grated coconut, among other issues.
The team also noted improper storage and labeling practices for semi-cooked foods and raw materials.

Additional violations found at Kishan's restaurant
According to reports, the semi-cooked foods and raw materials stored in steel containers were discovered to be covered but lacked the necessary labeling, while some dustbins did not have lids.
Additionally, stagnated water was found in the drains inside the kitchen during the inspection.
The restaurant also failed to provide medical fitness certificates for food handlers or a water analysis report for the "bubble water" used in cooking and served to customers.
