Horrible conditions at biscuit-making factory, Video goes viral
Biscuits have long been a staple of our tea time, with many unable to imagine this ritual without them. Yet, a recent video showcasing the production process of atta biscuits has raised significant concerns regarding their preparation.
While biscuits made from whole wheat (atta) are typically viewed as a healthier option compared to those made with all-purpose flour, the video shared by a foodie blog on Instagram shifts the focus from their nutritional benefits to the unsanitary conditions under which they are produced.
The footage begins with a large container filled with ghee, flour, and sugar paste. A machine is used to knead the dough, which is then transferred to a sizable wok. Here, an individual manually scoops out portions and feeds them into a machine that shapes the biscuits.
Once shaped, the biscuits are arranged in trays that are stacked on a long rack. This rack, burdened with multiple trays, is then placed into a large oven for baking. After baking, the biscuits are taken out for packaging.
However, the video clearly highlights a concerning lack of hygiene throughout the entire process.
The text associated with the post on Instagram read, “Aata ka biscuit aaisa banta hai factory mae. [This is how atta biscuits are made in a factory.] Check this out.”
Numerous individuals expressed their thoughts in the comments section. One commenter stated, “Sugar (cross emoji) Poison (tick emoji)” Another added, “No hygiene, Will never eat.”Someone used some apt words for the factory, “so very dirty.”
With food supply chains extending across various national borders, the related health risks have become a growing concern.
The video is undeniably unsettling, raising significant concerns about the food we consume. We can only hope that the relevant authorities will investigate the issue and implement the necessary measures.
Food safety in the marketplace is a critical aspect of public health, impacting individuals of all ages, races, genders, and income levels globally. Both local and international food marketing plays a substantial role in influencing food safety and public health.
