Ten persons were arrested for manufacturing and supplying adulterated tea powder following raids at 15 locations across the city on Thursday (April 23).

The Hyderabad Food Adulteration Surveillance Team (H-FAST) conducted the operation based on information about large-scale adulteration. During the raids, officials found operators mixing artificial synthetic colours and using low-quality and expired materials to increase profits. The adulterated products were being supplied to roadside vendors as well as reputed outlets.
