Hyderabad's food industry, valued at over Rs 10,000 crore, faces a critical food safety crisis due to inadequate inspections and enforcement. With less than one-fifth of eateries checked and a severe manpower shortage, the city is struggling to protect public health from adulterated food, leading to health issues and fatalities.

Food adulteration in India poses a significant public health crisis, with contaminated milk, paneer, and processed foods causing severe health issues and even deaths. Recent incidents highlight widespread violations, including a deadly milk contamination in Andhra Pradesh and large seizures of adulterated paneer in Surat, underscoring the urgent need for stricter regulations and enforcement.
