A bakery in Hyderabad has come under police scrutiny after authorities alleged that it was preparing donut buns and cakes using rotten eggs and hazardous chemicals, raising serious concerns about food safety and public health in the city. The case came to light following complaints from customers and subsequent inspections by officials, who reportedly found unhygienic conditions at the premises.

According to police, the bakery was using spoiled raw materials, including rotten eggs, in the preparation of baked goods that were being sold to unsuspecting customers. The findings have sparked outrage among residents and prompted swift action by enforcement agencies.

During a raid on the establishment, officials said they seized large quantities of raw materials and finished products suspected to be contaminated. Investigators also claimed to have discovered the use of certain chemical additives that may not be approved for food preparation. Samples of both ingredients and final products have been collected and sent for laboratory testing to determine their safety and compliance with food standards.

Police have detained individuals linked to the bakery and registered a case under relevant provisions related to food safety violations and endangering public health. Authorities said further legal action will depend on the outcome of the lab reports and the findings of the ongoing investigation. Officials are also examining supply chains to determine how such materials were sourced and used.
