Hyderabad: A recent inspection by the Commissioner of Food Safety at a Burger King outlet in Malakpet has raised significant health concerns regarding the restaurant’s food preparation practices. During the inspection, officials discovered that the palm oil used for frying non-vegetarian items contained a Total Polar Compound (TPC) value of 27.0, surpassing the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) safe limit of 25.0.
Oils with TPC levels exceeding this threshold are deemed unsafe for human consumption, posing potential health risks to customers. In response to this violation, the Commissioner took immediate action, seizing 15 liters of the cooking oil from the establishment.
Social media post after the raid
The information about the latest raid was made public via CFS Telangana’s official X (formerly Twitter) post.
” Palm oil being used for frying non veg items was found with Total Polar Compound (TPC) value of 27.0 at the time of inspection, which is beyond the maximum permissible value of 25.0. Hence seized 15 Litres of cooking oil on the spot,” reads the caption of the social media post.
